I found it in Buster, too, k/t "apt-cache search mplayer-gui". Then..
I'd been playing around in Packages online earlier so it occurred to
me to try this:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/mplayer-gui

That received back this:

"Error
Package not available in this suite."

Replacing "jessie" with "buster" in that URL lands this (just for starters):

"Package: mplayer-gui (2:1.3.0-7)
movie player for Unix-like systems (GUI variant)"

For whatever development related reasons, it's really not showing up
for Jessie..
