There have always be discussions about adding a package hat already has a counterpart in some official repo. Normally such packages should not go to AUR and will be deleted. On the other hand we have mplayer-nogui or such things. Maybe this package is another example from that rule.
Just to spread the info, the rule is that you can't upload a version of a repo package unless something is changed. Different configure options, patches, etc, are fine. The rule is in place because people sometimes want to upload version bump packages, which they shouldn't
Thanks for clarifcation.
