I have to defer to your decision on this but I have had to invest considerable
time and effort resolving a Rygel "problem" on multiple Debian releases that
makes Rygel almost useless to all but the most technical users: LSDVD is not
indicated as ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED for .VOB containers!  Is there anyway that
LSDVD can be automatically installed when Rygel is or, at least, the user
notified that it must also be installed?  In my opinion, this is the most
important thing Rygel/Debian Packaging could do to "improve" Rygel acceptance
and usability for most users especially non-technical people!

LSDVD is ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED to even "harvest" .VOB containers!

I know installing LSDVD resolved my issue but, technically, the package
required was probably something LSDVD calls, most likely LIBC6 or
LIBDVDREAD4.  I don't know whether there would be patent or other issues
by packaging them with Debian?
