Well, unless something really horrible is happening, as I understand
it, when you update said deb it won't touch any rc?.d links it doesn't
know about. For example, if I had an entry /etc/rc2.d/S20eggturnerd to
start the egg-turning daemon on bootup, then I would *expect* dpkg to
realise that deleting something it doesn't know about will probably
break something, and jolly well leave it alone (unlike Windoze
installers).
So you could create a script, say in /etc/init.d/umountUDF, to umount
the CD drive, and create a link to it /etc/rc6.d/Kxxumountudf,
choosing xx so that this script is run immediately before the one to
kill the packet-CD driver.
Course, if this DOESN'T work, no doubt someone will say so... don't
see why it shouldn't though.
