The correct way to add an Official Debian CD to the apt sources.list 
file is to use the command:

apt-cdrom add

You should run this command as root.  This will prompt you to put in a 
cdrom, do not mount the cdrom yourself as the apt-cdrom does all this 
for you.  You should end up with a sources.list entry that starts with:

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux .....

You may find that some or all of the existing entries are commented out  
by  apt-cdrom.  If you are concerned, you should make a backup copy of 
sources.list.
