Hmm. According to output from aptitude show there aren't any
dependencies, other than libc6, which of course is already installed
(or your system wouldn't work).

which may explain why the libdvdcss-dev doesn't install?

Furthermore:

-dev shows dependencies, so of course -dev wouldn't install without
the corresponding base package, so take Steve's link and take out the
corresponding -dev part and it might work.
