In KDE the reference CD burning software is K3b, which is packaged in Debian as k3b.

On the command-line you'd probably use cdrkit (the main package is called wodim).

Thank you @Stephen Kitt and @EightBitTony , using the command `wodim` we can detect , burn and eject the disk by adding the following options `--devices` and `-eject` – GAD3R May 05 '16 at 08:35

For basic burning, Debian has at least the following tools,

wodim -v dev=/dev/sr0 -dao /home/user/file.iso

cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr0 -dao /home/user/file.iso

xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 -dao /home/user/file.iso

I don't know if they support all the features you require. You can get more details from the Debian site.
