I rather burn my own CDs/DVDs and see for myself if the program works.

Your source: total failure.
Debian source: works perfectly for years.

Conclusion: Debian patches are GOOD. And that for years and years.

Bugs caused by upstream relicensing the source to something considered
non-free by debian and being too stubborn to work with the kernel
developer together or at least follow developement or anyone other
"Troll" for that matter: All of them.

Anyway, all our bugs belong to us. It is Debians BTS and not
yours. What do you care? The Debian cdrecord clearly states that is it
modified just like you demand in the source. It followed all your
requirements.

It takes two to tango. If you don't want to disguss then stop.
