While FFmpeg tries to maintain a stable svn trunk, Debian (and I guess
many other distros) uses point releases.
Look at MPlayer for example: 1.0rc2 is October 2007 while 1.0rc3 is May 2010, too much time between two release candidate releases from my point of view!

Which package was it? I guess that check can be patched away.
