last commit to git on April 15. I guess quadrispro is still working on
it?

We are currently discussing this to death, it seems.

I fear we need to distribute our package under GPL :-/ - so this needs a
sourceful upload to update debian/copyright

Has seen an upload on April 11, so it should migrate soon.

Fixed in my local git

Should be downgraded, affects gmplayer only.

Benjamin, do you still think we should continue shipping gmplayer?

BTW, I have been told that if we revert the addition of mplayer-nogui,
so that we don't require editing to the override files compared to what
is currently in unstable, we can upload mplayer again. I've therefore a
local mplayer branch where I've merged from the ubuntu package, but
disabled mplayer and mplayer-gui. I'm not wondering if gmplayer should
just be dropped or merged into the mplayer package, as it was before.

Opinions?

ffprobe has now been merged into ffmpeg upstream, but for squeeze, we
might indeed want to upgrade the package

xtophe, do you know if it's safe to update this?

no idea about these, perhaps we should just upgrade them.
