We encountered some problems on a fresh installed Debian machine and Libav.
The parameter -q wasn't recognized by Libav tools and we had to change it to the long -qscale.
This just works with FFMpeg too.

Do you know how backwardly compatible this change is?

The shortcut parameter -q was introduced in V 0.9 of FFMpeg for -qscale.
The changelog can be found here: http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob_plain;f=Changelog
So I think, -qscale is more backward compatible as -q.
