There are individual packages from "unrelased" on the CD image when
building a CD with debian-cd because I added such a feature to debian-cd.

It was added like that to base-installer. Hence base-installer was run with
that argument when run during a CD installation.
And I already mentioned, "unreleased" is not really needed for most ports,
