The "official" procedure to make Debian CDs (i.e. with hardlinks) works well
with mkisofs. However there probably also are people using a symlink farm,
which requires mkhybrid's -F option ("-follow-outside-links Follow symbolic
links which point outside the CD base directory"). AFAICS this option is not
available in mkisofs 1.13, so it seems mkisofs does _not_ incorporate all of
the features of mkhybrid.
