Hmmm...

$ dlocate ffplay
The program 'dlocate' is currently not installed.  You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install dlocate
bash: dlocate: command not found

Installed and then:
$ dlocate ffplay
ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffplay
ffmpeg: /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg/html/ffplay-doc.html
ffmpeg: /usr/share/man/man1/ffplay.1.gz

But checking in Synaptic I see that I got it from medibuntu. However,
Ubuntu also has it in Universe, though I don't know if there is any
difference:
