Er, not "wajig", which is something else entirely.

Should be "wodim", a different entry in the Debian Project "Bizarre
Program Names That Rick Can't Remember" sweepstakes.  The "wodim"
disk-burning utility (allegedly short for "Write Optical DIsk Media") is
part of a new-ish bundle of related utilities called cdrkit.  wodim is
fork of Joerg Schilling's "cdrecord", which is part of his cdrtools
bundle.

As I said, it's part of the overall Schilling fallout, about which these
should give you a decent picture:

("Talk" link is because the main Wikipedia article doesn't tell the full 
story.)

cdrtools/cdrecord was always gratuitously Linux-hostile in a number of
small ways (which pattern ultimately traced to Schilling's personal views), 
and so cdrkit systematically fixes those annoyances.
