Why "Eek"? :-) If no /dev/dvd exists, it'll create it. If /dev/dvd exists, it won't touch it. If someone installs ogle (a DVD player), I'm assuming the hardware is recent enough for software playback and that the drive is a DVD-ROM... all of them support DMA! But since that change requires a reboot or a manual change, I'm still hesitating to integrate it :-/ My goal is to allow users to install a DVD player through synaptic and play DVDs in no time. Outputting a message in the %post section of a package is always a bad idea, putting the tip in the %description sounds good though.
