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.
