eject and setcd: What are the desired relationships?



The current situation, at least with testing is that each of those 2 packages 
ignores the other one. However it looks to me that setcd complements eject.

In short, what are the desired suggests/depends and so on between those two?

[3:02:49 tmp]$ grep-available -s Description -P eject
Description: ejects CDs and operates CD-Changers under Linux
 This little program will eject CD-ROMs (assuming your drive supports
 the CDROMEJECT ioctl). It also allows setting the autoeject feature,
 currently supported by a number of the Linux CD-ROM drivers. See the
 documentation in /usr/src/linux/Documentation for more information on
 the autoeject feature.
 .
 On supported ATAPI/IDE multi-disc CD-ROM changers, it allows changing
 the active disc.

[03:04:50 tmp]$ grep-available -s Description -P setcd
Description: Control the behaviour of your cdrom device
 This program allows you to control the behaviour of your Linux cdrom
 player.  You'll need a cdrom device that complies to the new interface
 defined in linux/Documentation/cdrom/cdrom-standard.tex.  For
 kernel 2.0 this is only the cm206 drive, for kernel 2.1 this
 includes IDE and SCSI drives.
 .
 You can control: auto close, auto eject, medium type checking and
 tray locking.  You can get information on the volume name of cdroms
 and other data, and you can set the speed of your drive and choose a
 disc from a jukebox.
 .
 In order to fully exploit the possibilities, you'll need libc6 and a
 recent version of the the linux kernel, but you will get decent error
 behaviour in return.  Expect a message "No medium found" if you
 attempt to mount an empty drive or "Wrong medium type" if you try to
 mount an audio disc, instead of a whole load of kernel error
 messages.
 .
 The source of this package may be an example for cdrom player program
 developers that wish to exploit the features of the new cdrom
 interface.
