Anything that takes advantage of SSE should be packaged right (Gwenole's
multiple lib story).

What, that it is in contrib? Or for 9.2 contrib? But why request something
that is already in contrib if you want it in the next stable contrib?
Maybe I should request libgrass support in gdal (which also heppened
post-9.1)?

This sounds more like something for kio_rpm? Nothing else will know where
/usr/share/doc/package-version is. Can kio_rpm link to man pages at
present? And rpmdrake?

Free version of cdrecord can't write DVDs (AFAIK), and k3b does not know
about growisofs. You would also have to enter the size of the DVD in
minutes :-(. cdbakeover is no better at present (no custom size setting
even).
I will probably have to run through all the others to see if anything
supports DVDs, and hope it's something usable (for data, most of the
GNOME/GTK tools seem aimed at ripping/writing music, where most of my
burns of CDs are data, and all our DVDs will be).
