Wow. time flies, I remember when this split happened, but did not
expect it would go on so long.  Is there a statement from the
distribution managers on this question?

What would it take to get the "actual" cdrtools back into
Ubuntu/Debian?  Isn't there a voting process to make decisions on

ps: k3b works great to copy disks for me using the 'stock' CD tools in
Ubuntu.  however, I do seem to make a lot of coasters in writing new
disks (file backups) in Ubuntu with k3b.
