I mean apt can't mount a CD, NFS volume or disk partition. To use those
media with apt's dselect method, the user has to mount them before
starting dselect, and umount them after the install. It would be nice if
the user could enter "my CD is in /dev/hdc" and then the apt method do the
mounting/umounting thing automatically.
