pkg-message patch proposal

Hi,

I have been burning optical media on FreeBSD since last decade, and I got quite
frustrated lately when sysutils/k3b-kde4 got deprecated, as I couldn't figure
out how to make sysutils/k3b work. I also couldn't find any resources around
the 'net.

It turns out that (at least for burning mp3s to CDs) it's as simple as setting
cdrecord parameters in "Settings --> Configure k3b... --> Programs --> User
Parameters" to match device as seen by `cdrecord -scanbus' (e.g. dev=3,0,0).

In my case, it also turns out that setuid and usermount requirements are not
needed, while being quite dangerous - people with little understanding of OS
security tend to "overdo" them, giving full rw access to anything under /dev,
as seen e.g. here:

Perhaps pkg-message could be updated? I have attached proposed patch.
