Why should it?
There are other components in d-i that support installing from CD.

d-i is very modular, which means that to get the installation method you 
want, you need to combine the correct components into a coherent whole, 
especially the components that are included in the initrd that is used to 
boot the installer.

I suspect that the original poster made some mistakes in this, but as he 
did not provide any real info on what he's done or trying to do, it is 
kind of hard to diagnose where the problem is.
