Looking at VLC source code, there's no trace of dvdcss.h usage nor of any libdvdcss.so.2 in ELF metadata, in fact for legal reasons, it' loaded via dlopen. So, VLC could ship with USE="dvd" enabled without the need of libdvdcss. The sample ebuild patch (off 1.0.2) should be applied to all the ebuilds available in our tree. We don't want to force people to install libdvdcss if they just want to enable libdvdread support (via USE="dvd"). Reproducible: Always
