Not if done right. The duplicate symbols don't need to appear in
libavcodec if libswscale is enabled. The patch in debian does this:

http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-multimedia/unstable/ffmpeg/debian/patches/015_reenable-img_convert.diff

May I ask why? The point of the patch in question is to enable
compilation and usage of legacy applications that use the old scaler
with the old API. The patch even makes this configurable defaulting to
'no'.
