If the user is not using CDs for the installation, there is no
reason dbootstrap needs to know

That is one of the things I truly hate with distribs. Please, don't set
/dev/cdrom to anything during the install!
if /dev/cdrom exists
leave it alone
elif there is only one CD-ROM drive
point /dev/cdrom to it
And what if there are multiple CDROMs in a system? What if they have a
regular CDROM, a DVD, and a burner, or just a burner and DVD?
I really wish distrib's would give users the choice of which

Why? You can always reset it manually, and having it default to
something nice will make a lot of programs which rely on
/dev/cdrom work a lot better.
How many new users to linux (we are discussing installs here after all) do
you know of that know

No, I think we're doing the right thing. If the user doesn't install
from CD-ROM, we don't make the link. If the user is installing from
CD-ROM and there are more than one, we have them pick, and set
/dev/cdrom accordingly.
This bug should be closed, IMHO. It's invalid.

Not many. But leaving it unset is equally bad, as they would have
to go trolling through /dev and /proc to find their CD-ROM drive
and then either (a) instruct the programs themselves or (b) learn
