Indeed - I had envisaged game-data-packager growing into 'data-packager' at some point. The design was initially inspired by java-package, which IMHO was a better solution than run-as-root postinst (the flash installer method, and the one OP is proposing in this ITP). java-package since disappeared, as the sun java's could be packaged; that situation has sadly regressed so perhaps there's call for java support in (game-)data-packager once again. In this case, however, it seems as easy to install libdvdcss from debian-multimedia than to have hacks to build it from source. The hacky package would have to live in contrib anyway, so it's still not in Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
