Although this list is on a Debian server, we are talking about the official
version. The code from Patrick has been added 2.5 years ago.

No, I am interested in people who are willing to test the new version.
The new version is a "refurbished" mkisofs that tries to fix some problems that
caused some problems in the past. But this did change a lot of code and may
cause new, currently unknown problems.
Debian will most likely not distribute recent versions of mkisofs for unknown
reasons. It seems that they are currently on a debate whether they go back 6
months or 6 years into the past.
If you like to benefit from new features of the code and like to stay with
Debian, you may need to compile cdrtools yourself.
You need e.g. a very recent version of mkisofs in case you like to do something
like this:
mkisofs -o fs.iso -R -C1234,5678 -M /dev/cdrom -graft-points -find
BA-Sept-17=/home/joe -ctime 25h -type f
to add a session with the staring directory "BA-Sept-17" that contaions a tree
with all files that have been touched during the pas 25 hour in the directory
/home/joe.
