I think that is work that will have to be made at some point anyway and delivering the deb making scripts to serge would help him out at some point and help us all immediately. Especially integration and means of registering of google video would be great (is mplayer able to playback youtube?). Does anyone know, if there would be a need for a plugin for opera to be able to launch google videos from web pages?
I would prefer a plain .deb for mplayer only (nonintrusive and guaranteed not to break user's system) and another one for opera and probably file manager integration

Third, I am not sure about how mencoder has been coded, but it might make sense to drop some seemingly unnecessary codeks from the pack to drop the filesize a bit.
Maybe, though it is not the highest priority now. I also tried compiling with -Os instead of -O4, but the size difference is not so noticeable and decoding video gets slower.

By the way, maybe using profile guided optimizations can improve performance somewhat (-fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use gcc options), but they seem to be not supported in codesourcery toolchain (when used with -c option).
