The kernel patch isn't necessary if you'd just like the dvd
writer to work like an "oversized" cd writer. I think you need
the patch if you want to do something like "cp file
/mnt/dvd/". The debian package has been renamed dvd+rw-tools
in testing and unstable.

This also works without ide-scsi emulation (ide-cd interface):
$ growisofs -Z /dev/hdd -R -J ~/backup
