I solved the problem the following way:
I added to sources.list the following two lines:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

, then connected to internet and did:

 # apt-get update

. I disconnected, and did:

 # apt-get build-dep emacs21

, and got the following output:


Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


. I said 'no' and then installed those packages that Debian wanted to install,
without the upgradings. Then I installed emacs cvs fine, just as I wanted,
using nothing else but my two DVDs.

Thanks, cheers,
