Hi,

thanks for uploading the new dvd+rw-tools version. However moving
genisoimage to Recommends is insufficient since it will still be
installed by default.

Since I understand that you don’t want the growisofs command line to be
unusable by default, let me suggest another fix:
      * Split growisofs and dvd+rw-format in a new binary package; let’s
        call it growisofs.
      * Make dvd+rw-tools Depends: growisofs, genisoimage.
      * Have growisofs not depend on anything else than
        ${shlibs:Depends}.
      * Then I’ll just have to make brasero Depends: growisofs.
      * PROFIT

How does that sound?
