So, no it's not possible for us to do the same as debian.
IIRC, debian only disable encoders that might be patented and leaves all
decoders.
Also, it's not only a matter to make a single ffmpeg disabled version and
shooting such nuked version to the users face. It has to be maintainable across
versions instead.
I would voice for having a look at what is done with firefox instead.
That might be interesting for blender upstream because that's an equivalent
situation with them. Right now, firefox is built with the ffmpeg headers, but
does not link to ffmpeg libraries, instead they dlopen them at runtime which
allows them to enabled the possibly patented codecs.
The last solution that might be available is for blender upstream to provide
flatpak, so that will be compatible with every distro out there.
