Well, that's half the truth. Libav 0.7, which is shipped in precise, *does* ship a /usr/bin/ffmpeg binary that behaves more pretty much exactly as the binary that was shipped in libav 0.6. This is done to not break applications in ubuntu that rely on that behavior.
The /usr/bin/ffmpeg binary from FFmpeg, however, did change command line options and positional behavior. For this reason, I don't think that applying the patch from Comment #3 is a good idea.
