Since mplayer-skin-blue was removed from testing this is no longer blocking mplayer migration to testing, so there is no rush on my side. Still mplayer-skin-blue has no use and is no longer installable in sid; if mplayer-gui is ported to gtk3 (not sure it will happen and when) it will probably work without extra skins, like mplayer-gui (gtk2) already does in recent versions; also there is no guarantee that gtk2 skins will work with a gtk3 version of mplayer-gui. Overall I don't think there are enough reason to keep this package in unstable.
