Public bug reported:

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 at 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.
