Can the software not function without /dev/cdrom? Unless I'm mistaken, this software has plenty of uses even if there's no cdrom installed in the machine. The best way to make sure the /dev/cdrom link is present is to check for it, use debconf to prompt the user if it's absent, and then create the link (possibly with some /proc autodetection) if the user agrees to let you create the link.
