Not correct, growisofs needs mkisofs and (at least) if you like to write DVDs,
you should use a recent mkisofs that is not installed when you installed wodim.
If you have wodim, you usually also have "genisoimage" that is based on a
mkisofs from September 2004 with some debian-specific bugs added. So you miss
50% of the current features and suffer from a lot of DVD & BluRay related
problems that have either been fixed in the original in 2006 or that that are
specific to genisoimage.
grosisofs can also write DVDs, but it does not seem to get updates since
4 years.
Also some people reported problems with growisofs that disappeared after
switching to cdrtools.
