Diego asked me to elaborate on the differences to the current packaging:
- seperate mplayer, mencoder and mplayer-gui package (current: single
package)
- no debconf questions during installation
- parallel builds
- debian/changelog gets generated, so upgrades via an archive is
possible
- doc-base integration
- 'distro' debian/copyright file
I think these are the most important items.
