I have several concerns:

1. This package seems to have little functional use without libdvdcss.
2. Even though libdvdcss is doing the actual work which would be considered a
violation of the DMCA, this library has code like this:

  /* Perform CSS key cracking for this title. */
  fprintf( stderr, "libdvdread: Get key for %s at 0x%08x\n",
           filename, start );
  if( dvdinput_title( dvd->dev, (int)start ) < 0 ) {
      fprintf( stderr, "libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for %s (0x%08x)\n",
filename, start);
  }

IMHO, this is a "bullet, gun" relationship. The bullet causes the wound, but the
gun fires the bullet.

I'm going to NACK this. Sorry. :( I think we'd just be taking on too much risk
with this package.
