codecs.conf belongs in share/, methinks.

Hmm, mplayer.conf is supposed to be generated, and there should be a
question that apear during configure phase of installation that ask if
user want to overwrite this file.
Here are those lines:
"
Template: mplayer/overwrite
Type: boolean
Default: false
Description: Overwrite /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf ?
 Should I overwrite your current /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf with the one
 created on the fly based on your answers?
" ( postinst.templates ) 

I thought that that's the best solution. Can anyone tell me why this is
wrong?
