Oh great, so this is already the case and we could remove the strict
dependency of growisofs on genisoimage then. Perfect!

OK, so I guess I’ll drop video DVD support by default, but keep a
genisoimage plugin around in a separate package that is not installed by
default, for those who need it.

AFAICS, while cdrdao is able to write CD-TEXT, the cdrdao plugin does
not implement it. Has it changed recently?
