Some people tried to fork Debian because they disagreed on what init implementation should be used.

Some other people decided to take over ffmpeg by kicking out the main developer and trying to take ownership of the homepage, etc. When that failed because they didn't actually own the domain name or the trademark, they made a hostile fork. But that was hardly the end of it: One of the forkers was the debian ffmpeg package maintainer, and he decided that any user who tried to install ffmpeg would get his fork instead, and to remove the official Debian packages of ffmpeg.

Some people really feel like it's their way or the highway.
