I'll try and put a neutral interpretation on this.  I have an opinion
but I hope it isn't obvious from this message.

 - The maintainer of cdrtools and Debian the project do not see eye to
eye... Enthusiastically....

 - Debian chose to fork from cdrtools, mainly over licensing issues.
Many people find Debian's tools acceptable. It is the stock choice in
Ubuntu.

 - Some people feel cdrtools is technically superior.  It is
reportedly possible to replace Debian's tools with cdrtools.


While my filtering settings has removed the origins of this thread, I
gather _someone_ was having trouble burning a cd.

If you aren't having issues, I'd ignore this thread completely.  I am
going to from here on out.
