What's so confusing about it?  On the first level, mplayerplug-in wants
to be installed. But that requires mozilla-firefox, whihc in turn
requires mozilla-launcher.

It's read from left to right and from top to bottom.

But packages will be merged in ASCENDING order, that is from
bottom to top. So, first mozilla-launcher will be installed,
and then mozilla-firefox. This is of course logical, as firefox
cannot be installed without mozilla-launcher.
