I am for keeping mga removed.
That's because mga driver is not part of the kernel, so mplayer
package should install it (even compile it for the given kernel) or
let the user do it (it that case the user is already skilled enough to
compile mplayer on him own).

Giving that the number of lusers that have matrox card (~ ->0), it
just doesn't worth the trouble.

p.s.
I will took a look of the script later.
