That is something that the libav package handles just fine. May I ask how you intend to address the altivec issue?

In the new packaging, libavcodec-extra is a virtual package, while the jessie shipped with a real package. How will that play with backports, that is, is there any chance that apt would prefer the libavcodec-extra package that drags in the old packages over the libavcodec-extra-NN package, which provides libavcodec-extra?
