is part of mplayer1. I'm not sure that we want to
maintain mplayer1. Therefore, it seems to me to be more
appropriate to replace mencoder by libav-tools (avconv). For now
I have not examined how difficult task it is.
Ok Slavek, now I get what you mean. It makes sense to do the switch
if possible (I also have no clue how long it would require). As a
temporary solution until we complete such task we can still
consider adding mencoder to the dependency package list, as we did
with libotr2. What do you think?

There is one difference from libotr2. For kopete-otr is dependence
libotr2 required for build. While mencoder is required for k9copy
"only" for some activities at runtime.
As I watched on the deb-multimedia is old mplayer including mencoder
still available for Jessie. Thus, users can simply add this apt
source that is maintained.
What do you think?
Note: While I was not looking, what is the state with Ubuntu 14.10
(Utopic).
deb-multiedia is not really compatable with Debian, It was/is needed for
libdvdcss2 . I don't think its the solution for Jessie.
