try "apt-file" to search for which package contains a file. on debian:

$ apt-file search avformat.h
libavformat-dev: usr/include/ffmpeg/avformat.h

it may be that the FFMPEG files are not on the official repo due to
patent restrictions in certain countries, etc., in which case they'll be
in another (probably well signposted) repo somewhere you just have to
find them.
