All of this is caused by a split/rename that happened for the codec
spells. MPlayer-codecs is deprecated and will eventually be removed, it
doesn't install anything anymore, that's done by quicktime-codecs,
real-codecs and xanim-codecs. w32codec has been renamed to win32codecs
because that's how the package has always been named and w32codec was a
stupid name to begin with.
