There's a bug report concerning this from 2014.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745381
In that thread our very own Brian P. states:
It would appear that on Wheezy it is necessary for '--no-auto-detect'
to be added to the apt-cdrom command to get sources.list written to.
On Jessie 'sudo apt-cdrom -d /media/usb0 add' works with or without
this option.
I guess the above holds true for Stretch and Buster, buster (but it's only a
guess)?

“Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe,
which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain
and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched--love for instance--
we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next.” - Virginia Woolf, The Waves
