Yes but you provided no details about exactly what you're trying to do
that is not working, no cli output, just a vague "it won't work" type
statement, and then submit a bug with a title that is 100% politics. How
seriously is anyone supposed to take that.

Title:
  avconv is a poor substitute for ffmpeg

Status in “libav” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I currently have the problem that I have around 2 dozens of video
  (still counting) that can't be converted with avconv because of a bug
  in avconv, causing it to abort.  I have been informed by ffmpeg people
  that avconv currently contains several hundred of open bugs that don't
  get fixed.

  After all, it seems somewhat questionable that ffmpeg has been
  replaced by avconv in ubuntu.

  I'd like to propose to offer both (ffmpeg and avconv) for some time,
  to compare and to see what's more stable and reliable.

  regards
