I had a flash of insight just now on how to work-around this problem
until its fixed; by creating a FAKE totem-mozilla that doesn't actually
do anything except convince Ubuntu that totem-mozilla is installed, we
can then install the plugin we actually want (e.g. mozilla-mplayer) ^_^

I've attached a DEB; its 808 bytes (really; its that small :)  Just
double-click on it and gdebi will install it for you; I also made sure
that ubuntu-desktop is a dependency so that it will add it back for you
if you've removed it to get an alternate plugin working.  I tested it on
my machine running Feisty and it works just fine.
