Ok, i will test it.

I am not sure. It is usually only needed to eject the cdrom in the
drive, and i believe that debian-installer has knowledge of which device
that is.

I am not sure what the default is though.
One solution would be to act differently at different priority levels :
at priority=medium -> eject the cdrom device.
at priority=low -> ask for device to eject, ideally presenting a list
of ejectable devices.
No idea what the real difference is for priority high, maybe we can move
one item to a higher priority. At priority critical, this question will
not be asked, so it is not important.
