Hello,
Thanks. I am not too comfortable with this NMU myself - I don't use
cdrdao very often - but the upload is really needed, and nobody else
seemed to care.

I just wanted to fix #161885 and take a shot at #116782 while making
only minimal changes, IMHO this is the right procedure for a 'hasty'
NMU.
If I had played with the thought of taking over cdrdao I would have
given the package a big overhaul (probably using debhelper), but I
just wanted to get this version uploaded without breaking anything.
