[edgy] Disable joystick by default

Bug Description

Binary package hint: mplayer

Please disable the joystick control by default. It's pretty ugly to have mplayer react on every movement of laptops that support hdaps (like modern ThinkPads).

Putting nojoystick=1 in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf would seem like a more sensible default, generally

shouldn't that be "joiystick = no"? But of course you're right. Sorry for making it not obvious enough that I was talking about diabling joystick control for mplayer and not in general.
