I believe this has been fixed in Debian Sid/Unstable.  Are you
using Woody?

For Gnome users: nautilus-cd-burner (something which should work
just like any nautilus file operation, i.e. you cut and paste
or drag and drop).

For KDE users: k3b (a bit klunky to my eyes it actually resembles
a proprietary CD burn program)

Everybody else: something like "mkisofs -J -R -V "CD Label"
/datadir | cdrecord dev=0,0 driveropts=burnfree speed=16"
(nothing but the command line should satisfy those who think
Gnome and KDE are too much)
