https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-news-team/2009-February/000413.html
states that Eben Moglen claimed Ubuntu cannot ship cdrtools, which
certainly seems like "a problem".
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-January/006688.html
appears to be a reasonable statement of Ubuntu's position prior to
that decision.

According to Debian's packaging database
(http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cdrtools.html), cdrtools still hasn't
been touched since 2006 in Debian. Neither cdrkit.org nor debian-legal
in March (http://osdir.com/ml/debian-legal/2009-03/threads.html) nor
debian-devel in March
(http://osdir.com/ml/debian-devel/2009-03/threads.html) nor even
Google for cdrtools Debian
(http://www.google.com/search?q=cdrtools+Debian) have any mention of
Debian agreeing to go back to the original cdrtools.

Where and when was this discussed?

According to whom is this the case? A quick search includes no claims
but your own.
