Package: libraw1394-5
Version: 0.10.1-1.1
Severity: important

Please can you put the following message into README.Debian?

The device file /dev/raw1394 will be created for libraw1394.  This library
is used by applications to access FireWire devices.

The default access permissions allows only users in the "disk" group.
This restrictive setting was chosen since raw1394 allows almost full
access to the FireWire bus and all connected devices are accessible, which
may include hard disks.

If you don't intend to connect sensitive devices and e.g. only want to get
video streams out of a camera, you can relax the permissions.  If you
don't have malicious users on your system, you can allow access for all
users with this command (executed as the root user):
    chmod 666 /dev/raw1394

Yours,
Gürkan
