Thanks alot for your help Martin! As noted in PR docs/32468, the real fix would be to add an attribute to the <filename> (it was <port> at the time of discussion of 32468, it's <filename> now :), which overrides the default pkg-descr file. Then, everywhere mkisofs is mentioned, it should just point to the cdrtools pkg-descr file. This PR is, in a sense, duplicate of PR docs/32468.
