I suppose you are aware than there is a *VERY* popular package made on
http://www.debian-multimedia.org already, that has a 1: epoch. sadly,
your package has none, and even with an 1: epoch, given that you use
a ~ scheme in the revision, you still would be smaller than the one of
d-m.org:
[madcoder mad] apt-cache policy mplayer
mplayer:
Installé : 1.0~rc1-2

I know that mplayer is not "official" but if you want users to use it,
you'll have to ensure an upgrade path for that very common unofficial
package. that's the least you can do.
I'd suggest using a 2: epoch.
Cheers,
