That was an intermediate step I took. That way, I could just look at
aptitude's list of "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages" in order to
identify d-m.org packages. And during that process I got rid of several
hundred MB of other obsolete packages as well.

I reaklly like handbrake-cli, that's why I had to keep d-m.org in the
end. BTW, if anyone is interested in an appropriate pinning section
(took me a few tries):
/etc/apt/preferences.d/00multimedia:
Package: *
Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages
Pin-Priority: 1
And BTW2: For stable, ffmpeg from backports is currently *newer* than
ffmpeg from d-m.org:
# apt-cache policy ffmpeg
ffmpeg:
Installed: 4:0.8-2~bpo60+1
Candidate: 4:0.8-2~bpo60+1

It's just the epoch that makes Marillat's version look more current.
