Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eject

`eject -x 0' sets the speed to maximum.  `eject -X' is meant to list the
available speeds.  However, it also leaves the speed set to maximum.
This can cause problems if you've deliberately set it to a low speed,
list the available speeds, and then burn a CD;  you're burning on the
maximum speed without realising.  It's apparent from the source that the
bug exists;  ListSpeedCdrom() sets the speed to maximum in order to find
out the limit for the loop which tries speed 1, 2, 3, etc., in turn.

Either eject(1) needs altering to match reality or, really the correct
solution, eject needs to restore the current speed after setting it to
all the possible ones with a warning in the manual that it changes the
speed and an interrupted eject may leave the speed at a random setting.
