Adding vapoursynth to dependencies results in 13MB overhead (tesseract, libwebp, …). As mpv is relatively small package to rebuild, I'd recommend rebuilding it locally.

Let's wait a week or two to see how many votes your request will receive.

Probably not too many. I was very surprised to see that vapoursynth made it into the repos, I think there might be around 20 actual users of it using archlinux, most of them probably in combination with mpv. (Most people doing actual encoding still use avisynth via wine, but I guess that might change over time)
Well, and because it is in Community now those few expected it to work out of the box, but yeah, vapoursynth isn’t exactly the smallest of dependencies.
