Like "agenda"? It doesn't matter whether it was plural in Latin; it only matters how it behaves in modern English. But as it happens, the patch doesn't use "media" to refer to a singular CD - it uses "some media" and "an item of media", the way English-speakers normally do. (There's a different sense of "media" that *is* colloquially used as a singular: "the Meejuh is full of fake news". But that has nothing to do with CDs.) -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package
