lxde has Recommends: mplayer-gui | smplayer | vlc
mplayer-gui is no longer built by mplayer in Unstable or Testing.

According to Debian Policy § 2.2.1, it is not allowed for a package in
main to recommend a package that is not in main. In the case of
alternatives, the first in the list must be in main. If a package is
still in Recommends (or even Suggests), apt will keep the package
installed even though it no longer is possible for the package to
receive security updates. Therefore, please don't recommend
mplayer-gui even as an alternative.
