[FFmpeg-user] Building with openjpeg support

Each library author choses how its headers are installed, there is no
universal standard. The choice would mostly depend on whether there is a
single header file or a whole bunch of them.

Doing things in the directories controlled by your package system is usually
a bad practice: if somehow in two years' time an upgrade brings you a
package with the header at its proper place, it will cause an error, and you
will have forgotten everything about that discussion.

Filing a bug to your distro, on the other hand, would possibly be a good
idea.

If your distro is common enough, you can also try to convince the maintainer
of libopenjpeg in ffmpeg to add a check for it.
