Makes sense to me. I never understood why the mplayer binary was shipped in two
conflicting packages, and removing gmplayer from the mplayer package would allow
us to simplify dependencies for smplayer, kplayer, etc.

I think the gmplayer binary should be moved into a separate binary package
called gmplayer, and mplayer-nogui made transitional to mplayer.

I would suggest also discussing this issue with Christian Marillat of
debian-multimedia.org.
