I meant that's ok, you don't have to convert libdvdcss to cdbs. I want
to keep libdvdcss build dependencies as minimal as possible, hence why
dh-autoreconf was removed. The reason to keep them minimal is because
the installer script builds the package on the user's system. Thus the
installer would only need debhelper (>= 8.1.3~), wget to get a
snapshot of the git repository, apt for apt-get, and build-essential
in order to build libdvdcss.
