Actually, you may have noticed the remark in red before the 
package-listing that says:

	Beware: In cooperation with ATrpms I'm not building new mozilla-mplayer 
	packages. Please add ATrpms to your apt repositories to install the latest 
	mplayerplug-in.

There's nothing wrong with the mozille-mplayer package, except that you 
may have to change the default configuration. The reason it is deprecated 
(and that the package are marked 'test') is because the proper name should 
be mplayerplug-in instead of mozilla-mplayer and Axel is the authoritative 
packager.

I urge you to use apt or yum, because it wouldn't have used my 
mozilla-mplayer package but instead Axel's mplayerplug-in package 
automatically.

Why install packages by hand, when you have apt or yum to your disposal ?
