But virt-manager only creates IDE CDROMs, as far as I can tell.  Could I tweak the XML file to add SCSI CDROMs?  I am using kvm 0.12.5 on Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.6, amd64.

virt-manager doesn't currently support creating SCSI CDROM devices. You can
tweak the XML though, you basically want something like:

    <disk type='block' device='cdrom'>
      <target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
    </disk>
