As I understand, the svn version _is_the_ official version. And thus, as
mplayer is published mainly in source-code only, it can not automatically
install dependencies.

If Ubuntu provides packages for gnome-mplayer or smplayer, it's the Ubuntu
people who decide what to put in that packages or what to make them depend
on. MPlayer developers have little influence on that.
