Aha, interesting. There's probably no easy way for debconf to determine if those non-free codecs are present and generate mplayer.conf based on that info (at least it sounds complex)? I'm just saying that most people won't know about vfm=ffmpeg and will continue to see the line "You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package." in the future too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
