In PKGBUILD:
find "$pkgdir" -type f -perm 4711 -exec chmod 755 '{}' ';'

but Schilling says:
In order to be able to use the SCSI transport subsystem of
the OS, run at highest priority and lock itself into core
cdrecord either needs to be run as root, needs to be
installed suid root or must be called via RBACs pfexec
mechanism.

This lowering of privileges in PKGBUILD not provided by the author of the program and breaks its normal use.
This task depends upon
