I downloaded
  https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/6.0.6-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-6.0.6-amd64-standard.iso
(because i love its small size) and found the message in
  /live/initrd.img

There is code to see which handles options
  fromiso=
  isofrom=
but no code for 
  findiso=

If this does not work, then you would have to modify the script
  /scripts/live
in /live/initrd.img so that it reports more about its adventures around
variable $FROMISO.

The initrds in debian-cd images do not give me ideas like "fromiso=".
You would have to ask at debian-cd mailing list whether there is such
an opportunity.


Have a nice day :)
