Indeed. I've in the past sought legal advice on the appropriateness of
having an automated installer for libdvdcss in the Debian archive and
shared the results with interested members of pkg-multimedia team. The
bottom line of that work was that it could be done, but we need to pay
attention at the package description. Please check back with me before
finalizing that part.

... and of course, as a more general advice, please avoid duplicating
efforts and converge on a single implementation, whatever, but please
only one :-)

Thanks for your interest in this,
Cheers.
