The only reason I knew anything about "xorriso -as mkisofs" is because
something related to both genisoimage and mkisofs wasn't working for
me, either. This Debian Wiki page is part of what I remember visiting
last year:

https://wiki.debian.org/genisoimage

My memory this second is that the chatter went beyond just that
genisoimage was not being maintained, but I don't remember exactly
what convinced me to install yet another package (xorriso). Maybe it
was that mention about licensing combined with the possibility of a(n
alleged) stalled maintenance program. :)

One question I'm left with now is that I'm getting zero response for
"apt-cache search xorrisofs". I must have hit up the Internet yet
again to find xorriso as an option. That or I chipped the "fs" off the
tailend and tried "apt-cache search xorriso" instead... ? :)
