Ok, here was my idea of an installer for libdvdcss. This is it's very
own package that can be installed via apt (i.e. apt-get install
libdvdcss-installer). Through maintainer scripts, it can install,
remove, and purge libdvdcss whenever the installer is installed,
removed, and purged. I got this idea from a package I use to maintain
long ago (nvidia-cg-toolkit) which works in similar fashion.

My idea was to upload this to Debian contrib. If it failed to get
accepted still, the script itself can be installed and used along with
libdvdread instead. Maintainer scripts could be setup for libdvdread
to automatically install/remove/purge libdvdcss, though the issue here
is that libdvdread is in main. libdvdread must not depend on libdvdcss
being available at all.

libdvdcss-installer can be found at

Any comments/concerns?
