Dear Maintainer,

The ffmpeg documentation (as packaged by Debian) points to a "graph2dot"
utility which does not seem to exist in Debian (from buster to current sid).

The README.Debian file does not allude to this utility.

    - This might be an oversight of the Debian build, which should be fixed.

    - This omission might be a specific decision of the Debian maintainers, in
which case it should be mentioned in the README.Debian file.

    - This might also be an upstream problem (graph2dot no llonger part of
ffmpeg tools, but not deleted from the documentation).

Sincerely,
