Bug Description

After upgrading from Warty to Hoary, my CD and DVD drives are not working
properly, due to /media/cdrom0 and /media/cdrom1 directories not being created.
If I create them manually, the drives work.

Running 'sudo /etc/init.d/discover restart' reports "No CD/DVD drives found",
and deletes the two manually created directories, stopping the drives from
working again.

The drives are at /dev/hdb and /dev/hdb, and I am using discover1, version 1.7.3.

This is fixed in the latest discover1 package, though you may need to recreate
the directories manually to clean up
