Okay, let's then base in those rules. I can guess that you want:
- DVD to be under "/dev/dvd"
- CD-R to be under "/dev/cdrom"
Is that right? If no, just make your own adjustements. If yes, I would
try:
# DVD-RW_DVR-110D (pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0)
#SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
#SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="dvd", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
#SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:1:0", SYMLINK+="dvdrw", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
# CD-RW_CRX195E1 (pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0)
#SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom1", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
#SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrw1", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:06.0-scsi-0:0:0:0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
# Virtual_CD_070A (pci-0000:00:02.1-usb-0:8:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:1)
SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="WD_Virtual_CD_070A_575837304139393534343636-0:1", SYMLINK+="cdrom2", ENV{GENERATED}="1"
That is:
- From the DVD entries, disable (#) all but the one that makes "dvd"
node.
- From the CD-R entries, disable (#) all and add a new one that makes
"cdrom" node.
After making the changes, restart or re-run udev rules to regenerate
them.

You can edit the same file. If after that it works as you want, you can
then put them in another file, just read Debian udev the docs to follow
the instructions. As you already pointed out, this has changed in a very
short period of time so depending on your Debian version, YMMV.

Yep, udevadm (as Brian suggested) should point to the new commands. Whether
in doubt, restarting also help.
