 Check /usr/bin/sensible-* in debianutils.  They rely on alternatives
 and environment variables for defaults and overrides (respectively) and
 carry some logic to select the most adequate binary in the normal
 cases.  E.g., sensible-cd-burner could spawn xcdroast; but I'm not sure
 this is what you want to achieve.
