What I did was write a 10-local.rules file following
the model at reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html.
So now I get the proper symlinks:

heathen@localhost ~ $ ls -l /dev/cd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 10:21 /dev/cdrom ->
hdc
heathen@localhost ~ $ ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 10:21 /dev/dvd -> hdd

plus these unwanted ones which are the result of
70-persistent-cd.rules                             

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 10:21 /dev/cdrom4 ->
hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 10:21 /dev/cdrom5 ->
hdd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 10:21 /dev/cdrw4 ->
hdc

question is, how do I turn off persistent-cd rules?
Even if I delete it another is generated when the PC
boots.

Do I delete /lib/udev*/write_cd_rules? 

According to the FAQ persistence is most useful for
devices that are likely to be plugged in and out
fairly often. I don't expect to do that with the
optical drives.
