dselect CDROM method - Room for improvement?

[Stig Sandbeck Mathisen <ssm@rlyeh.net>]

I think this is quite slow(goes through all packets every time), so I
use the following instead:

* mount /cdrom/
* use the FTP method, which effectively copies the file to a directory
  on hard disk, and installs from there.  Much faster, but a bit too
  complicated, perhaps.

Could these maybe combine into a new method, skipping the FTP bit, and
just make symlinks (or copy the file into a directory) and install
from there instead. Or is it a good reason for going through the whole
CDROM each time?
