Yes, but 1. it's not sure it will switch to lavfi, 2. we'll need to
keep them updated.

Anyway having the duplicated code doesn't particularly bother me, my
only point is that sometimes the mp filters don't work very well
(e.g. mp=tinterlace resets timestamps to 0), in that case maybe it's
better to just remove them rather than having the user to discover
that the wrapped filter doesn't work as expected.
