sometimes this fails, ie $suite never gets set, and there is no
code to trap that condition. This can happen with crappy cd drives.
I attempted a patch in #271976 but haven't been able to test it -
I only worked out how to build mini-isos last week.

register_cd() in iso-scan/debian/postinst has the same problem,
but should work with an on-disk iso image.
