I use that string as exactly the same string is also used in apt when it
prompts for CD changes after the installation (and _that_ string is also
what is displayed for CD changes during pkgsel).
I would suggest to translators that they check how the string is translated
in apt and use the same translation in D-I (or maybe someone wants to merge
the translations from apt into D-I?).
I don't much like the string either, but it would be even worse to have two
different prompts.
/cdrom/ is the mountpoint.

No, I'm currently not subscribed.
Cheers,

P.S. /me wonders why translators don't just check the translation comments I
included in the PO files:
#. This template uses the same text as used in the package apt for apt-cdrom
#. Do not translate "/cdrom/"
