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 libavutil51: Libav utility library 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
