Package: release-notes Followup-For: Bug #706562 I thought this bugreport from the Wheezy release-notes had been dealt with, but it's a good thing I doublechecked upgrading.dbk. My points #2 and #3 (references to /dev/hdc and lack of reference to Blu-Ray) are done, but #1 (references to /cdrom instead of /media/cdrom) was deferred until Jessie, since Wheezy users might still have been using the Squeeze apt-cdrom.

However, when I set up a /media/optical0 and try that, apt-cdrom insists on wanting /media/cdrom instead, so we probably still need to make more of a fuss about the precise path. Another minor tweak: as far as I can tell current udev will never name a device /dev/scd0, only /dev/sr0. The rest of it is just search-and-replace for sr0 and /media. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package
