For packagers who are "consumers" of ffmpeg, what will the process be ?
1. Dom commits ffmpeg and builds for -testing
2. once it appears (Dominik could announce), other "consumer" packagers 
grab Dominik's patches for their own packages, and build locally.
3. if successful, send patch upstream
4. commit patch, and request build
5. else request help on the list if necessary.

Am I understanding this correctly ?
