Not sure how this will affect dselect, but comment out the ftp sites and do
an apt-get update. That will remove the entries for the ftp sites, so the
CDs should be used.
Alternative ( and cooler, but I haven't tried it ), use
/etc/apt/preferences.
If you're using apt out of woody or later, then you can use
/etc/apt/preferences. I don't know what to put to use the CDs, but look at
the man page for apt_preferences and I'd think Origin is what needs to be
used.
For a further alternative if preferences doesn't work out well and this is
something you run into a lot look at:

You want the "security, testing and unstable updater for debian". It's easy
enough to tweak one of those to become apt-cd.
Again, not certain how this would work with dselect, but once you've updated
appropriately you could use apt-get install packagename or apt-cd install
packagename.
