This is a really bad idea.
/usr/include/scg/ is a planned directory that is known to be unique.
cdrkit does not deliver anything that is even approximately useful as a
replacement for libscg.
Installing the includefiles from libscg into /usr/include/scsilib/scg makes them
unusable as there is no software that is aware of this location. It seems that
the only result is that it makes it harder to install cdrtools instread of
cdrkit.
