libdvdcss is available from the debian-multimedia repository:

    otoolel@po:~$ apt-cache policy libdvdcss2
    libdvdcss2:
      Installed: 1.2.9-0.0
      Candidate: 1.2.9-0.0
      Version table:
     *** 1.2.9-0.0 0
            500 http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch/main Packages
            100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So you need to add the line

    deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ etch main

to your /etc/apt/sources.list file, update, and install.
