Yes, I talked about this with Marius (the maintainer) too. According to
Marius every other distribution doesn't split the cdrtools. So the merge
not only meets the expectations of a lot of users (and reduces the
support requests to Marius), it makes us also consistent with other OS
incarnations, so people which switch their OS (or use multiple of them)
don't get confused.
