Broken libdvdcss support, patch included

[Conn O Griofa]

Binary package hint: brasero

By default, brasero tries to access /usr/lib/libdvdcss.so to enable reading of encrypted DVDs, but most users' systems will not have this file (or symlink) present even when the libdvdcss2 package is installed. For example, the contents of libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repository:

root@inspiron:~/work# dpkg -L libdvdcss2 | grep /usr/lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2.0.8
/usr/lib/libdvdcss.so.2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install libdvdcss2 package (requires medibuntu repositories or manual download from videolan.org site)
2. Insert an encrypted DVD, open brasero and choose "Disc copy"

Expected results:
1. Disc begins copying

Actual results:
1. Error message displays: "encrypted DVD: please install libdvdcss version 1.2.x"

Other applications (e.g. totem. vlc, mplayer) seem content to access libdvdcss.so.2, so I believe it's better to patch brasero rather than repackaging libdvdcss2 with another symlink - for the sake of consistency. I'm attaching the proposed patch against brasero 0.6.0 that fixes the issue on my system. I also checked version 0.6.1 and it will require this patch too.

Here's a quick build including the proposed fix if anybody wants to confirm.

Thanks for the patch, I'll add it to the next upload.
