Would it be ok for you guys to "infect" the mplayer packaging with CDBS?

This particular issue wouldn't directly be solved by it, since CDBS do 
not yet support generating tarballs from upstream VCS.  But it would 
make it more obvious which parts are unusual - and even if not using the 
get-orig.source target the helper variables around it might still help 
streamline the custom get-orig-source.sh script.

Also, in the longer term, Jérémy Lal (cc'ed this mail) is working on 
extending upstream-tarball.mk to generate tarballs from upstream VCS.
