How about this; libdvdcss2 does not exist in the Ubuntu repositories, so
if a user tries to play an encrypted disk in a vanilla Ubuntu install,
there should be an error something like this:

---
Ubuntu cannot automatically install the package required to play encrypted DVDs.

Unfortunately, while libdvdcss2 is software libre, it is not in the official 
software repositories for legal reasons: it may potentially violate 
anti-decryption laws in some countries (e.g. the DMCA in the United States).  
To enable decrypted DVD playback if it is legal to do so in your location, 
please either manually install it or add a repository containing it and try to 
play the disk again.
---

Now, if a user has already installed libdvdcss2 or added a repository
like medibuntu, the user has made a conscious choice to do so and Ubuntu
should accept that and just play the disk/install libdvdcss2 and just
play the disk :)
