Simpler sounds nice, but I'm not so sure about the "uses ffmpeg instead" bit -- perhaps there should be two packages if such a choice has to be made?
Well, the choice has to be made, and making two packages is a solution. Personally I prefer ffmpeg, and as far as I read it has a broader support for codecs used in FLV videos. Even when compiled against gstreamer, decoding of such videos (e.g. youtube ones) require gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, so it seems to me that using ffmpeg directly is a more linear approach. p.
