swf_play is not an end-user application.  It's also been removed
from the current version, since it was replaced with
swfdec-mozilla-player, which is also not an end-user application.
The new player requires gstreamer, btw.

totem-gstreamer doesn't require almost all of GNOME.  It requires
a bunch of GNOME libraries.  It's a big difference.

If the player had a decent gtk UI (or Qt) with (at the least) the
ability to open a file from a menu, I would agree with you 100% that
it deserves a separate package.  If you can find someone to work on
this, I would be grateful, since it's something that I have no
interest in doing myself.

This is a bug (feature request, actually) in xine.
