Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
While attempting to use either the net install or DVD media on an arm64 guest on bullseye, the installer is unable to find the installation media found on the ISO (cdrom). I was able to get to the prompt and attempted to load the sr module (cdrom driver) but the module is missing. This prevents installation for any user using the ISO images for arm64.

No worries, bug closed with this message.
I'm always happier to see people reporting non-problems than people
not reporting real issues. It's much easier to fix things... :-)
