OK.  I'll report a bug anyway.  Thanks for checking.

I don't think the suse line has much effect.  Based on the comment in k3b,
my guess is that Suse appended "-suse" to their version of cdrdao because
it included the backported atapi patch.  Debian has included the patch
since cdrdao 1.1.7-4, but it doesn't seem to play around with a version
suffix.  That's why I resorted to changing the numeric check.
