Surprising package.

uscan does absolutely no checking of the resulting tarball so this is 
sensitive to DNS MITM (at least). IMHO having a tighter connection between 
this libdvdcss-pkg and the upstream tarballs hashsums would be a good idea: 
you would need to upload a new version of libdvdcss-pkg for each new version 
of libdvdcss to tighten the trust chain.

Cheers,
