supergaban: These aren't going to do anything unless you have either a) an application built against them (like included corsixth) or b) you use ffmpeg/ffplay/ffprobe etc. from terminal (for hls bbc radio) or call it from another application (like cuteTube). For the later, it doesn't really make much difference compared to the 0.5svn version in repo.

As for size/ monolithic builds. Applications built against the libraries don't have to include all of the libraries AFAIK, just those needed to provide the features the application wants. I have a statically compiled version of ffmpeg-2.5.1 executable kicking about from testing. If you want to build a 2.5.4 version, just remove the --enable-shared option in debian/rules and rebuild. As the packaging is derived from the 0.5svn version, all libraries should be optified anyway.

The -dbg package isn't needed unless your using it for development. Same with any -dev packages.

rotoflex: Sorry, I don't get the issue there as I use it on Thumb as is.
