I just looked at Essentials and openSUSE.org:openSUSE:Factory to find
out which ffmpeg version are supplied. Indeed, PMBS/Essentials still
provides ffmpeg-2 and ffmpeg-3, while openSUSE:Factory only has ffmpeg-4
and ffmpeg-5.

Does anybody know if there is a package in PMBS which still requires
ffmpeg-3 or even ffmpeg-3? I'm not sure if there is some "osc ..." magic
command which would show the affected packages - but, if there are any,
we would know very soon, if we would just build-disable the ffmpeg-2 and
ffmpeg-3 variants for TW!

This hack would then no longer be necessary :)
