Package: cdrecord
Version: 4:2.01+01a01-2
Severity: important

Hi,

The Debian policy manual section 10.9 [1], notes that programs should
have permissions of 755, however the cdrecord binaries do not.

clam:[~]% ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord*
-rwsr-xr--  1 root cdrom    133 Jan 10 03:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord
-rwsr-xr--  1 root cdrom 348556 Jan 10 03:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord.mmap
-rwsr-xr--  1 root cdrom 351404 Jan 10 03:55 /usr/bin/cdrecord.shm

I have filed this as an important bug since this is a violation of a
'must' directive but only a should.  I wasn't able to find any rationale
(either via a mailing list or in README.Debian) hence this bug report.

Thanks,
Anand
