First I'd like to apologize for the fact that by mistake I didn't
reply to the list (only to the author) in my previous email.

Thanks, this is quite handy. I should have known about this but I
haven't used Debian since over ten years ago (I have been using Gentoo
and Archlinux meanwhile). I guess it's time to read the aptitude
manual. :)

Here's the output of aptitude why libfribidi0 after removing mplayer:

i   libnewt0.52 Recommends libfribidi0

So, it is indeed due to a recommended dep like it was initially
suspected. I guess you were right and somehow Keep-Recommends is true
by default.
