You should be OK.  The package still includes an "ffmpeg" binary, which 
is what get_iplayer needs.  The Natty repo has version 0.6.2 built from 
the libav source tree, but 0.6.2 which was tagged shortly after the 
fork, so the 0.6.2-tagged code is virtually (if not completely) 
identical in both source trees.  If you're upgrading from Maverick, I 
think you'll be moving from ffmpeg 0.6, so you shouldn't see much 
difference, if any.
