I'm sorry but there's no way we can do that. Playing encrypted DVDs
need a special license, which as far as I know would need to paid for
every copy. So we simply can't add that.

Sorry again, but I fear we can't do much about that either. Creating
such a list would need a huge amount of time, and we - as a volunteer
project - just don't have the time for that, not even to think about the
resources needed to test that through.
However, you could use the Debian Live CDs to test, if your system is
supported before installing it. That's not a perfect solution, but a
quite good one.
Best regards,
Alexander
PS: By the way: The debian-release mailing list is not very suitable for
discussions like that. It would have been more proper on the
debian-project mailing list.
