point me in the right direction.

http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

I used to have a working system that could burn a DVD any time I
wanted.Under SUSE 9-10.1 I could, and under Debian Etch I could, and
probably earlier this year under Lenny I could.

Those are all useful bits of information that should probably be in the bug
report. It would be nice if you had exact package versions, but if you don't
it still helps narrow things down a bit.

Probably the most important part of reporting a bug is giving the maintainer
enough information to reproduce the bug on his or her system.

I have now created a large
pile of coasters trying to get k3B, Brasero, and makedvd to work, without
success. Nerolinux works everytime, and I was finally able to burn a DVD
using mkisofs to create an iso image, and cdrecord to burn it.

Again, I'm glad you were able to solve your problem. I'm sorry you had to
resort to using software on available in Debian.

Luckily I am
command-line literate ( ok, somewhat) so I can create scripts to do all
this for regualr use. I would MUCH rather just use K3B. My wife would never
be able to figure this out, would complain, turn and use her Vista laptop
and burn it.

Yes, while creating the fs and burning should be able to be done from the
command-line, the GUI tools should work as well. Having the use software not
available in Debian is grounds for a bug, at least for this task.[1]

[1] It would be different if no software that Debian can distribute purports
to handle the task.
