** Description changed:

- In the Xenial cycle, mplayer2 was dropped and mplayer reintroduced.  On
- upgrade from wily to xenial (I didn't notice until yakkety), mplayer2 is
- left installed, rather than the sidegrade being done, leaving people
- with unsupported software installed.  This should be resolved with a
- transitional package for upgrades.
+ [ SRU Justification ]
+ In the Xenial cycle, mplayer2 was dropped and mplayer reintroduced.  On upgrade from wily to xenial (I didn't notice until yakkety), mplayer2 is left installed, rather than the sidegrade being done, leaving people with unsupported software installed.  This should be resolved with a transitional package for upgrades.
+ 
+ [ Test Case ]
+ Ensure that a wily->xenial upgrade with mplayer2 installed gets us mplayer instead and makes mplayer2 autoremovable via apt.
+ 
+ [ Regression Potential ]
+ mplayer+ffmpeg is generally less broken than mplayer2+libav was, so there's little chance of regression, and moving people to software that might actually get future uploads and fixes seems sane.
