Due to a long-running controversy, the genuine cdrtools is not available in debian repos. wodim, which replaces it, is known to be buggy and ill-maintained. So I always install the genuine cdrtools. If you have burning problems, the genuine cdrtools may cure them.
Below are my steps for doing so on Aptosid. This is rather hackish - purists prepare to cringe. This builds cdrtools, installs a dummy package, and removes wodim. At some point I may try to make a proper package for it. Since it's not in a package, you may need to rebuild it when libraries change (although I've been doing this awhile on several distros and haven't had a problem).
Code:
# get the latest cdrtools - currently 3.01a03
wget ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/cdrtools-3.01a03.tar.bz2
# extract and build
tar xjf cdrtools-3.01a03.tar.bz2
cd cdrtools-3.01
make
sudo make install # installs to /opt/schily
# create dummy package
apt-get install equivs
nano cdrtools.ctl # create and add contents:
