Right. The growisofs program fully supports burning to -rw. However,
the -rw format does not require the same format operation that a +rw
does. Therefor, the dvd+rw-format tool is not useful with -rw discs.

If it doesnt work why can we read the following in the docs:
DVD+RW/+R/-R[W] for Linux

and

Q. What are the dvd+rw-tools for?
A. As implied/already mentionned - to master the DVD media, both +RW/R
   and -R[W]. .....

And in the package description:
Description: DVD+-RW/R tools
 This package includes a format utility for DVD+-RW media, a frontend
 to mkisofs for burning DVD+-RW/R and some associated tools.

I'm a bit puzzled...
