it does not "burn" them, but creates separate vobsub subtitles (a .sub
plus an .idx file), that's the point :)
I can add these to an .mkv file along with an .srt or .ass subtitle
track, so I can pick which one to use depending on the player. Or I can
even turn them off.
Seems like there is no (or at least no easy) way to do this with debian
tools. This program renders these subtitles so that they look good,
similar to the optional subtitle streams that are sometimes used by TV
stations, other windows programs I tried produced only more or less ugly
ones. Plus it is open source :)

P.S.:
for the archives, in case someone looks here:
I tried other versions of SubtitleEdit, v. 353 seems to be the latest one
that works properly with Stretch.
When exporting to vobsub, on linux for some reason the "Simple rendering"
option in the dialog box needs to be checked (seems to be the case with
any version).
