That page tells you its packages:

ffmpeg: Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package)
ffmpeg-doc: Documentation of the Libav API (transitional package)
libav-doc: Documentation of the Libav API
libav-source: Patched Libav sources
libav-tools: Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder
libavcodec-dev: Development files for libavcodec
libavcodec53: Libav codec library
libavdevice-dev: Development files for libavdevice
libavdevice53: Libav device handling library
libavfilter-dev: Development files for libavfilter
libavfilter2: Libav video filtering library
libavformat-dev: Development files for libavformat
libavformat53: Libav file format library
libavutil-dev: Development files for libavutil

libpostproc-dev: Development files for libpostproc
libpostproc52: Libav video postprocessing library
libswscale-dev: Development files for libswscale
libswscale2: Libav video scaling library

ffmpeg is still used as the trasitional name for libav. Yes I know they're not really the same thing any more (one's a fork) but they're incorrectly named. I'm not sure you can get an old-fashioned ffmpeg build any more.

In short:

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
