The thing is that we generally try to avoid auto-detection, because
many configure script misdetect libraries installed on the build
machine as being usable for the target. I.e if to check whether
libdvdnav is present it looks in /usr/include/dvdnav/something.h, then
it might incorrectly conclude that libdvdnav is available.

Best regards,

Thomas
