Hi Joerg,

Thank you for your input. But I believe it won't be necessary to upgrade
to a newer mkisofs and I'm not sure it would produce any different
output. 

The current mkisofs in Debian is capable of creating ISO images with
deeper trees. The problem here is our selection of options we pass to
mkisofs when creating the ISO image. If we used "-iso-level 4" or "-D"
there would not be this problem, but we would be risking compatibility
with older ISO9660 implementations (MS-DOS?). 

Applying the patch in the attachment is all that's needed to (always)
use "-iso-level 4". I'll work on a better patch that will adapt the
options used according to the depth of the tree, so that we have an
image as backward compatible as possible, without limiting the the kind
of data the user adds to the disc.

Best regards,
