Well, I think smplayer is way superior, but mplayer-gui has now seen
upstream some development boost due to a fresh blood. For debian, we
need to investigate why it fails to build against a shared libswscale,
check the upstream status on that situation and ideally backport the fix
to the debian package.

Obsolete packages should be dealt with at some higher level, IMO.
