I don't install it from deb. I install it as so (open a new terminal first):

mkdir temp
cd temp
wget -c 
http://www4.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20050412.tar.bz2
tar xvjf *.tar.bz2
cd all-20050412
sudo -s
mkdir /usr/local/lib/codecs
mv * /usr/local/lib/codecs
chmod a+rx /usr/local/libs/codecs/*
mkdir /usr/lib/win32
cp /usr/local/libs/codecs/* /usr/lib/win32
exit
cd ~
rm -Rf ~/temp
