For etch (testing) alpha, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, powerpc and sparc packages

 Add in your /etc/apt/sources.list
 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
 or
 deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main
</quote>

so you have to add the line to the sources.list as given above.
Login as root (or sudo if sudo is configured) and type :

nano /etc/apt/sources.list 

(nano is a simple text editor that comes with Debian)

scroll down to the  line:
 http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch/main Packages

and EDIT it to look like :
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main

also its better to delete or comment out the other multimedia.org lines as its 
not a good idea to mix Etch and Sid packages.
to comment a line add a # at the very begining of the line.
eg : 
#  http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid/main Packages

then press CTRL+x to save and exit (it'll ask for confirmation and file name).

After that, as root (or sudo if sudo is configured), type :

apt-get update

to update the repository info and type :

apt-get install libdvdcss2

to install the libdvdcss2
