Yes, but i did run into the same problem:

after a fresh install of package cdrecord, its main files have these 
permissions:

# ls -la /usr/bin/cdrecord*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          142 2003-07-08 19:08 cdrecord
-rwsr-xr--    1 root     cdrom      310060 2003-07-08 19:08 cdrecord.mmap
-rwsr-xr--    1 root     cdrom      310476 2003-07-08 19:08 cdrecord.shm

running k3bsetup changes this to

# ls -la /usr/bin/cdrecord*
-rwsr-x---    1 root     cdrecording      142 2003-07-08 19:08 cdrecord
-rwsr-xr--    1 root     cdrom      310060 2003-07-08 19:08 cdrecord.mmap
-rwsr-xr--    1 root     cdrom      310476 2003-07-08 19:08 cdrecord.shm

which is fine for most distributions (including debian/woody) but not 
debian/sid, because /usr/bin/cdrecord is not a binary anymore but a shell 
script wrapper to cdrecord.mmap resp. cdrecord.shm. The real binary files 
(mmap/shm) also need to be in group cdrecording:

# chgrp cdrecording cdrecord.mmap cdrecord.shm

That should do the trick.
