Good point -- the file would read:

    options ide-cd ignore=<cdrw drive>

And then you'd put the following lines in your /etc/modules:
    
    ide-cd
    ide-scsi

(and it *IS* the Debian way to put modules you want loaded at boot in
/etc/modules! Just not options, etc. My bad. Though it *does* work!)
