Version: 2.0-728-g2c378c7-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Justification: Policy 2.5

Hi,

currently mplayer2 has the priority extra. On the other hand, other
binaries with an higer priority (usually optional) depend on mplayer2.

According to Policy ยง2.5, at least mplayer2 should be optional.
Attached there is a patch for bumping the priority to optional to all
the binaries except the debug symbols, as it is usually done by other
sources.

(Note that after an upload of this, you will also need to file a bug
against ftp.debian.org to adjust on ftp-master side the priorities of
the binaries.)

Thanks,
