Bug Description

Currently when one installs libdvdread3,and runs sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh they are greeted with the fact they need to install fackroot,and debhelper. After installing these two items, an re-running the command you are then greeted with another error to which the only fix is to install build-essential. after doing so,and once again re-running the command script runs fine the program is built.

The problem however is that build-essential is not listed a dependency for this program, and on top of that under dapper as well as edgy all the user had to do was run the command above,and there was no need for fakeroot/debhelper/build-essential.

So why the need for build-essential fakeroot debhelper all of sudden?

Also If build-essential is needed in order for user to install this one program then it should be made known dependency.

It's because the script will only download and install the package for i386. (fallacy of the script in its current state, but easily fixed). I wonder what it would take to have the script altered? Something like the modified version of the script that I've attached should work without modification.
