+libav (6:11.8-1~deb8u1+rpi1) jessie-staging; urgency=medium
+
+  [changes brought forward from 6:11.3-1+rpi1 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Sun, 29 Mar 2015 02:07:33 +0000]
+  * Add special case handling for Raspbian (and any derivatives thereof) (Closes: 738760)
+    + Disable armv6t2
+      - note: the thumb2 variant of arv6 seems to be very rare, the Pi certainly
+        doesn't have it.
+    + Disable neon in the main build.
+    + Don't build a seperate neon flavour either.

+  [changes brought forward from 6:11.4-1~deb8u1+rpi2 by Peter Michael Green <plugwash@raspbian.org> at Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:58:25 +0000]
+  * Re-enable specific neon build.
+  * Move armv6t2 and neon disabling from overall configure flags to static
+    and shared configure flags so they don't impact the neon-specific build.
