If you want to integrate mplayer with your Debian package management,
you can compile svn into a .deb using the scripts in mplayer/debian.
See mplayer/debian/README.debian for instructions.  The package will
Depend: on whatever libraries are necessary for all the features you
compiled in, and are listed in the Debian package (this will be in
mplayer/debian/mplayer/DEBIAN/control after you build the package).
Additionally, you will need to keep the -dev packages of all those libs
if you want to be able to compile mplayer with those features again.

None of those 3 packages you listed are necessary to compile or run
mplayer, FYI.
