"I would prefer a plain .deb for mplayer only (nonintrusive and guaranteed not to break user's system) and another one for opera and probably file manager integration"

Additional package with a name something like 'mplayer-opera-integration.deb' which has 'mplayer' in its dependencies would be useful for those who really want it.

I would even prefer a separate .deb package for GUI, but expected some silly questions like 'I installed mplayer package but don't see it anywhere in my system', or 'why do I need to install 2 packages just for a single video player?' So everything is now bundled in a single package right now.
