Dunno. But that was a red herring caused by the "deb cdrom:" line.
Needed is "deb file:" because the (pseudo-)repository is accessible as
directory in a mounted filesystem on USB stick.

We seem to have found the solution in

  deb [trusted=yes] file:...parent.directory.of.dist.and.pool...

as Brian confirms.
But only to recognize that the desired .deb package is not in the ISO.
Whether it makes sense to install the .udeb against the warning would
have to be tested, if obtaining a pool with the .deb is not an option.


Have a nice day :)
