It's probably clear, bout just to be complete: the mounting
part should be definitely same for Debian ISO as any other
ISO :)

I don't have it at hand either, but ---- and now I'm not sure
if it was for Virtualbox, KVM manager or both ---- it was not
so trivial as e.g. on Vmware Workstation, where it's two clicks
in menu and you choose the file. It wanted you to add the file
first to some "repository" before being able to use it as image
for virtual optical drive. However, it was possible to get
there using intuition.
On the other hand, managers usually offer a VM creation wizard
which can simplify this since it's pretty common.
Thanks,
