libavresample-dev has no installation candidate
Feedback
I am trying to setup a development environment on Ubuntu 21.10 and got an error at the very first step
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-dev python3-venv autoconf libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg-dev libffi-dev libudev-dev zlib1g-dev pkg-config libavformat-dev libavcodec-dev libavdevice-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev libavfilter-dev ffmpeg
(from https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/development_environment#developing-on-linux) the error is:
[...]
Package libavresample-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'libavresample-dev' has no installation candidate
Looks like the package has been substituted by libswresample-dev
(ref. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=971318), I didn't propose the change to the docs because I don't know if it would work.

Ran into the same issue following the ¨developing on linux¨ manual in the documentation
Just did the same, also installed libswresample-dev
instead. If you are reading this later and see that by then, I have done a successful PR for home-assistant/core, ask me to do the PR for this doc change, because that means it probably worked with no problems.
