this will break all applications that have been built against ubuntu's
system ffmpeg that is currently at version 0.5. Please don't do that on
production systems.

It will probably do. and I could just add the build dependency and built
the system ffmpeg against opencore-amr.

However for license reasons, this would render the resulting ffmpeg
libraries to be licensed as GPLv3. Have you considered and listed how
many packages in the archive would have to be removed because of that?
