Right, it's the _device_.

Which is probably true ;)

You need to have loopback support enabled in the kernel.
Mount the cdrom just as you'd do normally, then IIRC
mount -o loop -t iso9660 \
/path_to_iso/debian-30r1-i386-binary-1.iso \
/existing_new_mountpoint
This way you can check what is _in_ the iso.
Well, if you still want to get a working installation cd, read the
"FAQ about Debian CDs" for further clarification, especially
the part at
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix
HTH,
