Same issue here, with brasero 3.2.0-4. Installing genisoimage fixes the
problem, so it looks like a dependency is indeed missing. Setting the
severity accordingly.

OTOH, it is not clear to me if brasero is capable of using something
else instead of genisoimage. If it is the case, a lower severity might
be warranted, but then it's not clear to me why that other thing is not
installed (and used) by default.

My setup is a few month old testing installation, immediately upgraded
to unstable, which I've been following closely on a daily basis. I
haven't installed brasero directly, but it got installed as a dependency
of gnome metapackages, so I think it's fair to expect it comes with all
needed components to burn data DVDs.

Thanks for maintaining brasero (and GNOME)!
Cheers.
