No, I don't think that's necessary. Keeping it in video herd makes more sense.

If avidemux keeps patching ffmpeg (beyond line-endings), I don't think
it is wise to make system-libs the default. I originally took on this
package when I became a Gentoo dev ~5 years ago, but I hardly use it
anymore and I don't have the time to maintain this. Thanks for
stepping up.
