Yes, but so what? The bugtracker always focuses on the current
development release. If you want to work on getting this fixed in an
earlier release, like lucid, then I'd suggest to open a bugtask targeted
at this release. However, I feel this particular issue is pretty minor,
so this might not be worth the efford.

I share this feeling.

Well, according to the current description of the bug, the current
version fixes the symptoms. 'Fix Released' therefore seems appropriate.

Yes, that would be desirable. However, all ffmpeg developers are
volunteers, and we prefer to invest our time in a different way.

Sure, no problem. Feel free to discuss this further on the
ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com mailing list with a reference to
this bug.
