It gives libisofs a bad name.

Probably the squeeze Brasero is two notches too old.
This comment could explain why:

Mine is 2.30.3
I need instructions how to get into this range of versions.

could well be just a classical 100%-run-but-unreadable problem.
Usually caused by bad compatibility of drive and media.

The 30%-to-50%-early-burn-end problem in Launchpad is probably the one
for which one needs the newer Brasero.

It would thus still lurk in Debian sid, rather than in squeeze.

So actually one should just deprecate to follow the Launchpad link.
I apologize for having fueled that branch.
But Debian will possibly get affected by its next release, anyway.

Be careful with believing in "me too" confirmations.
E.g.
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/788300
is very understandable to me after two days with Brasero.
Its flaws together with bad compatibility of drive and media can
cause any kind of urban legends.


Have a nice day :)
