If it would only install and uss the correct packages.

Setting PKG_OPTIONS.memtestplus = memtesplus-iso caused it to install
cdrtools, despite I had cdrtools-ossdvd-2.01.1.36nb1 installed.

Ok, that was the easier part to fix by patching options.mk:

BUILD_DEPENDS+=         {cdrtools,cdrtools-ossdvd}>=2.01:../../sysutils/cdrtools

Now the install failed:
