Is/was DeMuDi a derivative work like debian-multimedia?  If so I agree 
it is easiest to avoid it.

If DeMuDi is/was a Debian-internal initiative similar to debian-edu, or 
those active in it are/was interested in passing it on to Debian, then I 
still find it interesting to consider using that name as I believe it is 
well known also outside Debian.
