Make sure to read "Begin restricted code ..." in cdrecord/cdrecord.c,
which requires changing the status message to show that this is not
cdrecord but a fork. (GPL 2c).

Iirc dvdrtools does not do that and cdrecord's author regularily
breathes fire over that.

This was also the reason why this package was already removed once
from the distribution (it was packaged under the name dvdrecord then).
