I agree that the boot-floppies should install, not configure, the
system. As such, I don't think it is their place to setup
/dev/cdrom unless it is used during the install. But we shouldn't
force users to learn about unix devices and symlinks before they
can play music. Therefore, I think this should be reassigned to
base-config, and Joey can decide if it belongs there or somewhere
else (such as makedev).
