There was no dependency before bullseye. You could (and can) install the skin
without the gui (although it is pretty useless then).
The patch in #981838 should ensure that the skin works as intended, which
requires at least mplayer-gui 2:1.4, meaning that older versions of the gui
should be updated.

This is how it should be.

If I understand correctly, "data" packages do not have dependencies on their
"main" packages, but "main" packages have a "Depends:" or - in our case - a
"Recommends:" on their "data" packages, but I may be wrong, of course.
