We do. In fact I've been able to copy and burn DVD's for a long
time... Maybe it's a bit more troublesome than doing the same with an
ix86 but we still can do it.

A few days ago i made a copy of the GPS DVD that came with the car. As
i have an external DVD writer, i had a few problems in the begining:
k3b didn't recognisce my DVD-writer. So I made an iso image of the
dvd. Then I played with k3b till i configured my writer and then i
burn the image. And the dvd works perfectly with the gps.

Maybe if you write to debian-user explaining your problem they may
help you. Make shure you have a recent kernel (2.6.12 here) since old
ones had a few problems.
