mplayer is accumulating more and more RC bugs, so I guess it's time to
remove it. Uploaders of mplayer, do you have any opinion on that?

However, dak rm -Rn mplayer is pretty unhappy:

As far as I can tell, we need at least bugs for jajuk (B-D on mplayer)
and devede, photofilmstrip and toonloop (D on mencoder).

If we can agree that mplayer should be removed, I'm happy to file the
bugs.
