I have to wonder why cdrecord, xcdroast, etc that depend on suid to
work properly aren't set that way by default in sid.  Instead you have
to su -m and run xcdroast as root to enable non-root configuration
after pretty much any upgrade.  Why there isn't an option to enable
xcdroast non-root configuration during dpkg is beyond me.
