I don't think so. The multicd method in dselect should do so. Insert
the second CD and do a update.
If you don't mind "file not found" errors in apt /because it doesn't
prompt you for the cd), you can try the following:
Create a directory structure like on the CD (only the part until the
Packages.gz file) for all the CDs ( on /mnt/cd1, /mnt/cd2 and /mnt/cd3
) and copy the Packages.gz files to the proper locations.
sources.list:
deb file:/mnt/cd1/debian stable main
deb file:/mnt/cd2/debian stable contrib
etc.
apt-get update
If you then do a apt-get install blah, you will see from the file not
found message, which CD to mount.
(AFAIK, a proper CD method is on the TODO list for apt)
