OK.

For the quick and dirty solution, I did just that, but the packaging
is crufty. As I need to get some sleep right now, it will be great to
see the package gain some love from others, even if we can't upload
handbrake due to licensing and dependencies in time for wheezy.

OTOH, it never hurts to be able to have the package in source form
ready for a compilation to be used as we see fit, while the package
has not hit the main archive.

Just did that and pushed my current changes to the repo:

    http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/handbrake.git

I hope that others will join me in getting it slowly in shape.
