There are two possible solutions:

1)	Look at the turkish Linux distro that delivers a complete
	uncastrated Linux, create a linux distro that includes the 
	needed features (make sure that these features cannot be
	unconfigured) and send me a version so I can start implementing
	support for fine grained privileges on Linux into cdrtools.

2)	Continue to deliver a reduced Linux that does not give you the
	choice for a different solution and live with the consequences
	that force you to install cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav suid root
	in order to gain the needed privileges.
