If something breaks, I'd just symlink both of them together.

I would symlink /mnt/cdrom to /cdrom as debian still employs /cdrom.

Not to be pendantic, but the change b/c /cdrom to /mnt/cdrom is not a
_linux_ choice, but a distro default intall choice, and IMHO, not a big
deal, either way, as one could just create the dirs that they need. If you
use rh, then you can get kickstart to fix this for you if it turns out to
be a headache.
