Very intuitive, indeed…  How would anybody expect to find it there?

And relation between http://libburnia-project.org/ and
http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/ is not quite obvious.

The sources are practically the same, thouh.

The libisoburn package License field suggests GPL v2+, but xorriso
license is actually GPL v3+ (quite a difference).

The new xorriso package builds 'standalone' xorriso and no libraries but
if we use the libraries, then I guess the libisofs + libburn +
libisoburn packages are the way to go. But we should build xorriso
binary and its Tcl/Tk frontend to separate packages. 'lib*' is not
a right package for end-user applications. And we can set the License
right for the xorriso package.
