it is possible, but grub-common only Suggests: xorriso (>= 0.5.6.pl00), which 
is the weakest dependency possible (Recommends is a tad stronger, and Depends 
is absolute)

Regardless, I added some pointers to:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=519200#28
this bug is forwarded upstream:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137436

(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=399139
is similar)
