The message is long gone along with the compatibility wrapper program. It is only present in a very old release that receives nothing but critical bug fixes every once in a while. The developers only care about Git HEAD.

I'll be glad to hear your alternative wording suggestions. Make it express that the ffmpeg command line program has been deprecated in favor of the avconv command line program due to incompatible command line syntax improvements.

I think "The ffmpeg command line program has been deprecated in favor of the avconv command line program due to incompatible command line syntax improvements.", with no obnoxious shouty caps, expresses that concept very well.
