[Bug 471850] [NEW] Version improperly reported (UNKNOWN-4.4.1)

[JRavasi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mplayer

MPlayer doesn't provide its version properly, reporting "UNKNOWN-4.4.1"
instead of "1.0~rc3". This causes problems with frontends like SMPlayer,
that uses this banner to detect the correct version of the mplayer
binary.

Description:    Ubuntu 9.10
Release:        9.10

mplayer:
  Installed: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu10
  Candidate: 2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu10
  Version table:
 *** 2:1.0~rc3+svn20090426-1ubuntu10 0
        500 http://br.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What I expect:
  ~% mplayer -v | head -3
  MPlayer 1.0~rc3 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
  CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel  max cpuid level: 6
  CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (Family: 15, Model: 6, Stepping: 2)

What I get:
  ~% mplayer -v | head -3
  MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.1 (C) 2000-2009 MPlayer Team
  CPU vendor name: GenuineIntel  max cpuid level: 6
  CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (Family: 15, Model: 6, Stepping: 2)
