libdvdcss2, needed to watch most commercially produced DVDs, is at
http://www.debian-multimedia.org, not non-free.  The same applies to
acro*, too.  For the latter, there are free alternatives (evince, kpdf).

Debian-Multimedia, despite the name, is entirely separate from Debian,
and needs it's own key installed to avoid security warnings.
Instructions can be found on the web site.
