I changed the default of the debconf question to false. I agree that
this is a good thing idependent of this bug. I did not close these bugs
in the changelog, because I think that this is not really a fix for
these bugs. The bugs will not go away once this change is uploaded and
if someone chooses to manage cdrom mountpoints with discover, they will
reappear. I'd like to find the real cause for this bug. I however agree,
that these bugs are no longer rc, once the default is changed. 

One thing I'm not sure about is the urgency of this upload. By itself
the change is minimal, but if we upload with high urgency this will also
override the waiting period in unstable of the changes made in discover
1.7.0. I'm pretty confident that discover 1.7.0 works, but you never
know ...

So I leave this decision to whoever wants to sponsor this upload.
