it should look like:
% cd <mplayer_dir
% dch -v 1.0svn<date>-your.version.number
% <edit debian/rules>
% fakeroot debian/rules binary
with replacing the <date> and your.version.number by date of the SVN origin
and your personal revision e.g. rodolfo0, rodolfo1 etc...

well, you don't really need to edit it but you may have to. I put things
like --enable-gui, --disable-tremor-internal, --enable-xvmc and other
./configure options there.
