You can try the experimental APt v3, it will need the slink base libraries
to run but it is able to deal with these sort of cds. Run
apt-cdrom add
Make sure that your cdrom is mountable on /cdrom/ and that it is
unmounted :> It will add a new entry to your sources.list and magically
fix the package files. (hopefully)
You can grab it from http://www.debian.org/~jgg, the one with the date as
the version number.
