Hello, I am under the impression that you are misunderstanding the purpose of this piece of software. dvdbackup is intended to give you a bit for bit backup of all or part of a dvd. It is not intended for use as a general purpose remastering suite. Additionally, I am unsure what you mean by loss of video quality - do you have some tangible evidence of that? I think you mean the resultant backups are larger than you would like, since you can do without some of the audio tracks. If I am wrong, and the video does lose quality, that would be a bug, as dvdbackup's only purpose is 'backing up' the dvd, and loss of quality means it's not doing it's job.
If you are looking for a decent remastering suite, I recommend Video::dvd-rip, which is not currently in Debian but is available in deb format (googling for video::dvd-rip should take you to it fairly quickly, I don't have a link off-hand now, sorry).
