Bug#531701: nautilus-cd-burner: confusing/incorrect "please insert media" prompt when burning ISO image

Package: nautilus-cd-burner
Version: 2.24.0-3
Severity: normal

Right-click on a .iso file; in this example, one that is 2.1GB.
Click "write to disc".
Check that an actual burner drive, not "File Image" is selected in "Write disc to".
Click "Write".
The prompt says "Please put a disc, with at least 2.1 GiB free, into the drive.".
But if I were to put a partially written media, with more than 2.1GiB free,
it would not work. Burning an image needs a truly blank media.
This prompt suggests to me it is not going to burn it as an image, but is going to
copy the .iso file as a file to the CD, adding it to the already present filesystem
on the media, or creating a new one if the media is truly blank.
