It’s been a while, but I just realized that libbluray depends on
TeX Live.

Fortunately, it’s a build-time-only dependency, not retained at run time.
Still, it sounds like a rather bad idea because of the enormous
dependency and the problems it entails.

Could we get rid of it?  What would we lose?

TIA!
