I know what dak says I looked that up myself after you made that statement.

I previously thought that libburnia is already being used by all relevant 
packages
and that cdrkit is required only for mkisofs, in particular for creating ISO
images with a HFS (not HFS+) filesystem.

If cdrkit is actually being used by so many packages, then it should have been
in much better shape before being shipped with a Debian release. Just painting
over this single issue is not the right approach in my opinion and there are
certainly more issues with cdrkit than just the FTBFS.

The number of patches in the Fedora package speaks for itself [1].

I don't think we're doing ourselves a favor by rushing hotfixes in to get these
packages into the next release.
