The latest guide I just uploaded also uses 1.1.2 and compiles fine on Debian.
I'll add a section on the guide for people to change the version when using checkinstall.

For example, the package version on Ubuntu server 12.04 is 4:0.8.5 Using checkinstall on 0.11.2 source gives a version 0.11.2 You must modify it to be 4:0.11.2 Next time you update your packages, ffmpeg installed version won't be downgraded. I tried to install the latest ffmpeg from source, which is version 1.1.2 and it works for me on Ubuntu server 12.04.1 64bits (though I had some warnings during compilation).
