In that case, 'aptitude show' shouldn't say it is "deprecated", right?
But it did:
$ aptitude show ffmpeg

Description: Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder
(transitional package)
Libav is a complete, cross-platform solution to decode, encode,
record, convert and stream audio and video.
This package contains the deprecated ffmpeg program. This package
also serves as a transitional package to libav-tools. Users are
advised
to use avconv from the libav-tools package instead of ffmpeg.
