I think the mini pkg is only required for bootstrap in OBS.

It is not API compatible. In the past the solver picked the mini variants,
and as a result at least vlc failed to build because some function was
declared in the header file, but was unavailable at runtime.

The ffmpeg-mini pkg makes sure no mini variant is ever used outside of OBS.
