It is not part of Debian or Ubuntu. The main reason is that there are
legal issues in some countries. That is why Debian does not include it
in their repositories, hence Ubuntu, hence Trisquel. The library
circumvents DVD encryption and is considered it is in collision with the
DMCA and other copy prevention laws. 

If you have libdvdread4 installed, the following file has some
explanations: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/README.Debian

An article in Wikipedia [1] also explains how libdvdcss came to
existence.

The DVD as a concept was intended to prevent using discs from different
regions and and prevent copying, distribution and prices. [2] A monopoly
over country/region.
