Nowhere that I know of, but changing the region code probably is :-)

libdvdread is already in SuSE 9.3, maybe in earlier versions too. I
certainly do not remember selecting it, so it must be part of the
dependencies from what I did choose. However, I am unable to find out
what requires it. libdvdnav is also installed, and nothing seems to
depend on it. Maybe I should try to remove them in Yast and see what
complaints are triggered :-)

There is also an unrelated kdvdbackup which is already on packman in rpm
format for SuSE 9.3.
