But cdrecord is maintained and not deprecated.

Maybe the message should be reworded to state that cdrskin is *optional*, and
k3b will use it in place of cdrecord *if it is installed*. I.e. make it clear
that burning will still be possible without cdrskin installed.

One thing though: I tried to install cdrskin here. This removed the message on
startup, but k3b (17.04.3) still seems to use cdrecord according to its output.
Uninstalling cdrecord gave an error message on startup that it is missing and
broke burning completely even with cdrskin installed (and it is detected in the
settings dialog).

So apparently cdrskin is not even used currently for some reason?
