Hi!

Now we have mplayer in this repositories:

http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer/etch
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/
http://apt.cerkinfo.be

...and probably in more. This could confuse users and lead to dependency
problems. Solution is to have only one repository for every piece of
software that can't be packaged in debian (i.e. non DFSG-free software and
software with patent problems). There is already such a repository, with
lots of packages:

http://debian-unofficial.org/

Could you, or someone else, put mplayer (and xvidcap, rte,...) there, and
notify people that run other repositories with mplayer to remove it or
help you to maintain it?
