Bug Description

mplayer2 is dead upstream, this package was synced from debian, but they have now removed it from unstable.

It has been replaced by mplayer coming back into debian.

Lubuntu seed this, but I think they should probably switch to mplayer.

All packages in "reverse-depends src:mplayer2" have alternative dependencies to mplayer, so those are good. Thus what remains is to change the seeds in lubuntu. Setting mplayer task to incomplete until the seeds got changed.

Lubuntu has the smplayer and gnome-mplayer packages. These packages both pick up mplayer, so I think the solution has already been released. I'm marking as Fix Released.
