Comment 2 for bug 530141

This is ridicules, hindering productivity is only going to drive users away. I hope Ubuntu, Canonical gives users the option of choice over using Debian's wodim or the industry standard cdrtools. I, among one other that I know of have put an entry into Ubuntu Brainstorm to recomend including cdrtools. It got deferred to being a question of Packaging. I call shenanigans.

Putting people back into the stone-ages just to protect them from a possible freedom violation is as much a crime as the make-believe crime that would have taken place.

Open your "fracking" eyes Canonical. Many of us are out here recommending your product. But when it screws up consistently because of a known issue, "Debian Obsessiveness" we got problems. I can't always go to some potential users' house and install it for them.

Schily keep up the good work.

My external burner has never worked with wodim.
