Bug#656850: MPlayer recommends libbluray1 which in turn recommends libbluray-bdj which requires JRE so the default mplayer install brings java "bloat" to the system

Package: mplayer
Version: 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1+svn34540-1
Severity: minor

Trying to install mplayer on a system with default apt configuration
results in installing all the recommended packages as well which
necessarily brings in some headless Java variant as libbluray-bdj
dependency which is recommended by libbluray1 to the system which
might be highly undesired and confusing.

Imho it would be nice if mplayer only "suggested" libbluray1.

Package: libbluray1
Version: 1:0.2.1+git20111208.63e308d-1

Debian wheezy/sid armhf
