So, if I really wanted the CD+2DVD version, I would be stuck with that cover. And if I live in a conservative country where I know they might check my package, then I have a problem. Also, you don't know who lives with these people, perhaps they have very strict parents, who wouldn't care about "seeing a deeper meaning" in the pictures, all they see is that their kid has "porn". And again, if the kid really wanted the 2DVD version, then they have a problem. Different people have different circumstances.

I wouldn't call those countries conservative. If someone orders the CD+2DVD version and s/he is getting trouble only because of the cover then those countries constrict the freedom of their citizen. Those countries are to blame, not the cover.
Despite Ayu creates her covers for the japanese (western) market, I don't see why she should care about her covers looking like porn in the United Arab Emirates.
