I think you'll find that the official ffmpeg trunk has only had vpx encoding for around 12 days, and webm muxing for about 8 days. Maverick is still on ffmpeg 0.5.1 (0.5.2 is latest official release) and Ubuntu tracks releases rather than svn snapshots.

I'd hence hypothesis that the bugs you've raised again 'project (Ubuntu)' packages are all invalid until a) (at the very least) ffmpeg and gstreamer have made official releases with vpx and webm support and b) the upstreams for each of the projects have similarly made releases with support for vpx and webm either through their own direct linking against libvpx etc., or via ffmpeg/gstreamer prereq
