Makes good sense to me!
It might make sense to check if any of the alternatives are favored by
Iceweasel for some kinds of media, and if so either have the relevant
debian-edu package conflict with them or at least document somewhere
that they should be avoided if wanting to maintain the quality tested
officially by the debian-edu project.
Also beware that some plugins are directly affected by adding/replacing
packages with ones from debian-unoffical.org and debian-multimedia.org.
I don't know specifically with mozilla-mplayer but I suspect that to be
one such case (replacing either mplayer itself or the underlaying libav*
packages).
