I just found this report whilst doing a buster > bookworm full-upgrade.
I have both mplayer and mencoder installed and both were listed for removal.
I require mencoder specifically to handle some old legacy format

Specifically RealMedia multi-stream formats originally recorded in the
1999-2004 time-frame.
