And to add: it is working :-)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

In terms of installation, why remove the libaacs0 package? Simply rm the 2 library files it installs and then do the symlinking. apt will think libaacs0 is still installed and won't remove xbmc due to dependency issues.
Of course this will break when apt installs an update to libaacs0 package.
To get around that one could make a dummy libaacs0 deb with a high version number? The dummy package simply does the symlinking. If the version number is high enough apt will never think the repository has a newer version.

yes you should be able to put in a disc them just use the internal player. I have not looked into it in a very long time so I forget if XBMCs play disc does bluray yet so that may need tweaking. but with this a disc will work like any make mkv decrypted backup, just without the tipping time or hard drive space needed

any sanely configured box will look in /usr/local first. leave your /usr that is the packaging systems domain... no need to remove anything.

Never the less spiff is correct. If you check ld.conf you will see where such objects are searched.
But to be honest hear - i did not get it picked up in the new location. If in doubt, meta package them or use dpkg-divert.

Anyone gotten makemkv 1.8.5 to compile for OE3.2? The patches from 1.8.3 dont apply to 1.8.5 and without them the build fails.

I have finally had time to test this on my dedicated XBMC system and it does work. Here are my notes on getting it to work
I am using xbmcbuntu based on Ubuntu 12.04 upgraded with a couple week old nightly
Putting the symlinks in /usr/local/lib didn't work for xbmc I still had to delete my other installed libaacs files the apt package has them in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ and I also had some in /usr/lib from a git compile nothing worked until both were gone.
The "Play Disc" doesn't work to start a disc I went to Videos > Files > "disc label" > BDMV then it came up with the menu that gives its best guess at main title or open menu list (same as when opening a decrypted backup/iso. Clicking on one brought up the video fine.
I didn't test if you have to previously start makemkv and accept the start of a 30 day trial since I had already did it. Also note these betas expire every couple months so if you forget to keep upgrading versions it may stop and have no way of warning you about your old version like it does in the GUI and it's not old enough for anyone other then the devs to know.
