Source: mpv
Version: 0.9.2-1+b1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

mpv recommends youtube-dl, which in turn recommends mplayer2|mplayer.
This means that an `apt install mpv` will by default install mplayer2.
This seems unintended and undesirable, so I thought I'd mention it
(despite it not being much of a bug and trivial to work around).

-Ryan
