Searching for the string "Official" seems rather bogus, unless we want
vendors who create unofficial CD-ROMs to put the string "Not Official"
in their .disk/info files.
I suspect searching for the strings "Debian" and "Binary-" would
suffice to ensure you have a Debian CD of some form in the drive.
