It's two-fold.

First of all 2.6.8 introduced the idea of command verification for
non-root users.  This is a good idea and we should not deviate
ourselves from upstream and Debian in this respect.

Secondly the original allowed command list in 2.6.8 was incomplete.
That broke many common operations used by CD burning software.  This
has already been rectified upstream as well as in the Debian kernel.
I've picked up the patches from Debian so we should be OK.

Cheers,
