Hello,

in reply to Debian bug #1107479 (http://bugs.debian.org/1107479) the
kernel will disable the pktcdvd module as it's orphaned upstream, broken
and most functionality is provided by mod_sr. This will affect forky for
sure, the debian kernel team still considers backporting that change to
trixie and bookworm. See also
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1564 .

The udev rules shipped by the udftools package trigger calling pktsetup
which in turn calls `/sbin/modprobe pktcdvd`. This obviously will result
in an error once CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD is disabled.

Best regards
Uwe
