In that case the command 'list-devices cd' should return the device, as it 
has this code:
    if ! $match && [ "$TYPE" = cd ]; then
        if udevinfo -q env -p "$devpath" 2>/dev/null | \
           grep -q '^ID_CDROM='; then
            match=:
        fi
    fi

What does 'list-devices cd' return?

Can you try uncommenting the line "set -x" in this script
   /var/lib/dpkg/info
before you run the cdrom detection step (e.g. while the language question 
is being displayed) and send (gzipped!) the debugging info in
/var/log/syslog?
