[Bug 1094742] [NEW] /dev/cdrom not created

[Feisar]

Public bug reported:

I performed a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 with no DVD drive installed
in my machine.

Then, a while later I purchaced and installed a DVD drive but I do not
have the symlink:

/dev/cdrom

I do have /dev/sr0 and the following output:

$ cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
