automated backups to CD in linux

I'd like to do weekly backups of a certain directory. Ideally, I'd like to stick a blank CD in the drive once a week. Right now the data I want to backup will fit on a single CD, but in the future it won't. In that case I'd like to do a full backup once a month and incremental (or differential) backups in between.

I've found a few programs that seem to do most of what I want, but I'd like people's suggestions. Something with a Debian package (in stable) would be preferable.
 
I would write a script to tar up the directorys I want backed up, and break them into 650 meg (or 4 gig for dvd) files and then if it is just one file, write to a CD/DVD otherwise email me letting me know I have some disks to burn.

Something like gentoo's stage 4 backup just stuck in a cron job. (I already use the stage 4 backup, but I do not automate it).
