I agree that having a package in the recommended that has the media includes, such as pdf-presenter-console-media is a good compromise for Debian users.
For Barak: when a poster is called for we currently get: Movie requests poster. Not yet supported. Is this something you might consider soon? It would make the package so much more useful, as it allows the speaker to describe what the animation is all about. Currently only Reader seems to do this correctly. Okular and Evince show a poster, but it is a random frame in the video, not the first.
