Bug Description
While attempting to install the "alien" package in Synaptic, I was forced to insert the Ubuntu 6.06 Flight 6 Install CD. Upon inserting the CD into the CD RW drive and pressing okay, I was presented with the same dialog box asking me to insert the CD into /media/cdrom. Being a CD R, the CD was mounted in /media/cdrewriter. I was forced to open the terminal to mount the CD R in /media/cdrom. This should not be required of the user.

Sadly apt only supports the hard coded cdrom path at the moment.
