Rebuilding every time - ffmpeg is updated is also completely unmaintainable. + Requiring an exact ffmpeg version is usually not a good idea in a binary + distribution because: + - All FFmpeg security updates require a subsequent binNMU of mpv. + - Debian generated dependencies do not capture this dependency well (at least + without extra hacking). + - The requirement itself usually indicates an ABI violation. + For these reasons, remove the check and assume the current FFmpeg version is + compatible.
