It already exists. Datom developed very nice multi_cd, multi_nfs and multi_mount access methods for dselect, shipped with their CDROM or by FTP <http://www.datom.de/debian/>. Their CD set is made of three CD (because they include a good part of non-free and non-us) and it works fine now, after the beginnings in beta stage.
