Possibly, but something like this would need to be done upstream rather
in the Debian package. Please file an upstream bug.

Having said that, I'm not sure there's that much benefit in doing this.
On my system, installing libsmbclient added 30M which isn't a lot for
most people. libdvdcss is different - it's loaded dynamically for legal
reasons.

Thanks,
James
