For the record, I will repeat here what I just expressed in an open discussion on the ubuntu motu list.
With the current status of the gui as shipped by mplayer upstream (old, buggy and unmaintained, mplayer upstream is actually recommending it to not be distributed) and with the excellent standalone gui's we have today (smplayer, kmplayer, gnome-mplayer, etc.) it really doesn't make any sense to have the gui included in the mplayer package. Instead of adding an mplayer-nogui package I think that it would really makes sense to remove the gui from the mplayer package and, if really deemed necessary, have an mplayer-gui (or gmplayer) package which includes the deprecated gui.
