Package: mplayer
Version: 1.0~rc2-6
Severity: minor

I recently updated mplayer and saw

Setting up mplayer (1.0~rc2-6) ...
-e Configuring mplayer ...-e Mplayer warning: dvd device '/dev/cdrom' does not 
exist!
-e done

mplayer.postinst (which claims to be a posix shell script) printed (some
of) these messages (including the -e stuff). The script does so by using
echo -n -e in a message shell function. However posix does neither
guarantee to provide -n nor -e. Using echo -n -e is (even if it was
intended to print "-n -e") at least confusing, because the behaviour is
shell dependant. I therefore suggest discarding "-n -e" or using printf.
