I wrote a web browser plugin already, I know what NPAPI is ;)

That's not what I meant. You'll need to support Real Player, Windows
Media Player, QuickTime and VLC nowadays. Our support for the first one
is really sketchy, but the other 3 are complete enough to work with a
majority of websites.

Yes, it's a must-have.

FWIW, you can probably have a complete web browser plugin in not much
space by packaging it properly in a sub-package.

$(libdir)/mozilla/plugins/*
$(libexecdir)/totem-plugin-viewer
$(libdir)/libbaconvideowidget.so.0.0.0 (shared with Totem itself)
$(pkgdatadir)/mozilla-viewer.ui
$(pkgdatadir)/fullscreen.ui (shared with Totem itself)

That comes in under a meg stripped...
