| mplayer doesn't depend on any browser, or browser-related library.

The more i think about this the more i am against adding browsers to the
deps, only because if they are using non-gecko browser they will have to
install one.(yes i know thats the point as mozilla-mplyer wont work on
konq, ect...) since most people using Ubuntu or Xubuntu has a gecko
browser installed already this sould not be a dep. Please move them to
recommends as this will cause too much cruft to be installed if they are
using a minimal system without Ubuntu-desktop but with Gnome-* package.

When you say brower-package you mean a empty package that depends on a
browser? (empty == meta package) just sued to get deps.
