As someone mentioned earlier, the copyright statement of the two vdpau headers
says this.

So the headers can be packaged up and distributed via main until NVIDIA creates
a proper package for libvdpau (won't hold my breath).
Also, it seems libvdpau.so is loaded by dlopen by mplayer/ffmpeg. Has anyone
confirmed this? If so, The Debian multimedia team should look into creating a
package just for the headers.
The headers can be fount at
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/vdpau/include/vdpau/
