I support your opinion and use an own package for cdrtools but for me there was 
a realy showstoper what i have read in a discussion on the forum: There is no 
one who wants to maintain a cdrtools package.

So for me everyone has the right to have his own opinion and if there is no dev 
who wants to maintain cdrtools than we risk to discuss a theoretic thing.

This is another reason to stay with the original. Thanks for this information.
