FFMPEG deprecated on Ubuntu .... it's not a joke !

As I created a new virtual PC to host a Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, I tried to setup all my favorites command line tools.

But after setting up ffmpeg: sudo apt-get install libav-tools
I asked for the version and got the following message:

ffmpeg version 0.8.6-4:0.8.6-0ubuntu0.12.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the Libav developers
built on Apr 2 2013 17:02:36 with gcc 4.6.3
*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***
This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead.

ffmpeg .... DEPRECATED, it looks like the Ubuntu community push to replace the original ffmpeg command line by the avconv (a fork of ffmpeg....)
For me it's just a pain, as ffmpeg and avconv will not have the same development cycle, and their features and command line may vary, so switching from windows, to centos, to ubuntu and not having the same tools is terrible !

Will rebuild my own ffmpeg up-to-date instead of using the package manager !
