Well, sure I was quite surprised not to find the ts_dvbpsi module in the
vlc package...

On the  other hand, the libdvbpsi  dependancy is useless for  people who
don't use VLC to read network streams...

However, as the absence of the  ts_dvbpsi package tends to generate hard
to debug errors  (the ts module is  used instead, so, you  don't get any
error message, but some of the strams  are not working at all, some have
only sound, some only video, some  everything ;-), I would tend to share
your opinion.

I'll try to send an e-mail as soon as I can.

This also points out that the name "libdvbpsi" is quite confusing, since
this lib is not only required to read dvb streams... well, too late ;-)
