not help with this specific issue)
Bugs with the CD-ROM part of APT pop-up a lot because there is nobody in
the team actually using it, and most users are not using it either. For
most users, the only time they use the cdrom code is when installing, and
then never again. It's a sad state to be in.
It would be a good idea to improve the testing of optical media, but I'm
not really sure if that's possible. Possibly with virtual machines?
