peter at prospero:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/growisofs
dvd+rw-tools: /usr/bin/growisofs

So it appears that growisofs is part of the "dvd+rw-tools" package (which was probably installed as a dependency when you installed a CD/DVD burning application)

>From "apt-cache show dvd+rw-tools " :

Description: DVD+-RW/R tools
 This package includes a format utility for DVD+-RW media, a frontend
 to mkisofs for burning DVD+-RW/R and some associated tools.
