Ok, if it is not a bug that apt-cdrom chooses a status name, then the only way to fix this is to have *only* the right status name on CD (namely, "stable"), so I'm reassgigning this back to debian-cd. If this may not be fixed in potato it will have to be fixed in woody, I don't care, but having wrong and not required symlinks in the dists directory will do nothing but confusing users and generate questions about this in the user lists. Thanks.
