In fact, it's actually just a symlink! not even a binary...
mkisofs -> genisoimage
mkhybrid -> genisoimage

Of course genisoimage may well be designed to behave differently
   depending on what name is was called-under!
(i.e. genisoimage may well have "compatibility syntax" for
   mkisofs / mkhybrid syntax.....)

Therefore, nautilus-cd-burner may well need more than just changing
   "mkisofs" to "genisoimage" (or maybe not).

I completely agree this is no problem at all for feisty and
   that it should be fixed later and likely in upstream
   somewhere...
