I would suggest that future versions of the ISO images have symlinks to
allow them to act as an apt-get source.
For example, the directory 'woody' should be symlinked with the name
'stable' Pointing sources.list to 'woody' generates an error, so that's
not a work around.
Having symlinks to mimick a sources.list target would allow more
flexibility in how the CDs are used and not take up space. Instead of
swapping physical media, the images could then be mounted and made
available locally directly via HTTP or FTP.

Doesn't this sort of thing work any more? This is from an old backup
copy of sources.list:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r2 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1
(20001207) ]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main
