Well, I got it to work with a symlink.
I don't wanna sound like a flamer, but in this case it is stupid to dictate
where to mount stuff.
The clean way in apt-setup would be to give a list of choices from fstab.
I have 2 cdrom drives and a zip drive. What if I wanted to use some of these
devices?  It is said to be configureable through apt.conf, but I can't get it
to work that way.
