Deb multimedia is very compatible with Debian, Infact Christian is  Debian Developer. The issue is his packages have, in the past, caused a conflict situation with official Debian packages. Last year he was asked to stop using the name Debian in his repository. Since he changed his domain name I haven't seen a package from Deb-multimedia that has caused any problems with any official Debian packages. Having said that Debian did make his repository obsolete, for many users, with their change of policy on licences. Since then the only package I use now is libdvdcss2

I normally use it on many workstations - currently on Squeeze and Wheezy.
Workstation with Jessie I do not have one yet. The problems I observed
rarely.
