Using nrg2iso
There is a simple command line tool which converts NRG Nero CD images into ISO images. The tool is called nrg2iso and it’s included in the repositories, so to install it type as root:

apt-get install nrg2iso

In order to convert a NRG image to ISO use it like this:

nrg2iso cd_image.nrg cd_image.iso

It also provides a progress bar.

Using iat
Another handy tool is iat, which allows to convert many image formats to ISO. According to the manual page, iat supports the following images: BIN, MDF, PDI, CDI, NRG, B5I. Although I only tested it on NRG, I’m sure it works for all the formats mentioned above. It’s included in the Debian repositories, so install it using apt-get install iat, and use it like in the following example:

iat cd_image.nrg cd_image.iso
iat cd_image.bin > cd_image.iso
