I compared `iso-scan.postinst` to the one in the master branch from [3]
(3e40e214) and they are identical. So it looks like I am already using
the most current version.

Ok I used `iso-scan.postinst > 20110603-iso 2>&1` so I could not see
what to enter. But adding `set -x` it is also logged when using the
menu. I will send the log privately because there are some files of
friends on there. I guess it is some quoting issues and it would be
great if a common test case could be found.

And I made another discovery. Using a clean USB medium, i. e. no other
files than the Debian Installer files are on there, the ISO files is
detected and `isolist` is populated.

So as a workaround please delete/move other files before trying to use
that medium for installation.


Thanks,

Paul
