Description: mplayer subtitle font symlink refers to TTF file owned by another package


Additional info:
* package version(s): mplayer 1.0rc2-2.1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Install mplayer without installing ttf-bitstream-vera.
2. $ ls -l /usr/share/mplayer

Problem:

The file '/usr/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf' is a symlink that points to a file owned by the package ttf-bitstream-vera, namely '/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf'
However, mplayer does not specify this as a dependency (I could install mplayer without installing the font package)
This task depends upon
