So you're saying I shouldn't include the tech/* docs in the official
packages?

They are not *only* in Hungarian. It's just that there are both Hungarian
and English versions in the same dir, which makes it a little harder
to package them properly. Where would you look if you wanted to find
Hungarian tech docs? In Hungarian/tech/ or tech/ ?

Hmmm, maybe I should go further with splitting the packages, like this:
mplayer-conf
mplayer-docs (requires mplayer)
mplayer-docs-tech (requires mplayer)

Above three are now in one package mplayer-common.

mplayer (requires mplayer-conf)
mplayer-gui (requires mplayer-conf, provides mplayer)
mencoder (requires mplayer)

This way one can install mplayer without the docs, if it's necessary
to conserve diskspace.

Anyway, is it acceptable if I apply this patch in my packages?
