The main reason was that dvdbackup needs that function. And given that
both libdvdread and dvdbackup seemed unmaintained (no changes for over
2 years, IIRC) it was the easiest solution to get dvdbackup working
again.

I did not look if there was a way to rewrite dvdbackup in order to
use a different API exported by libdvdread to work around this.
