So, if majority of people needs mjpegtools, then it should be in Recommends 
field of kino package - then aptitude and synaptic will install mjpegtools 
automatically when installing kino.
Please, don't put mjpegtools in Depends, because kino works fine without it - 
mjpegtools aren't absolute dependancy for kino.
(look at Debian Policy manual for more info about dependancies -
