sda is not a real optical medium and Linux would not accept a partition
table from a real optical medium.


I assume the message comes from
  https://sources.debian.org/src/cdrom-detect/1.98/debian/cdrom-detect.postinst/?hl=23#L23
or
  https://sources.debian.org/src/cdrom-detect/1.98/debian/cdrom-detect.postinst/?hl=216#L216
when it tries to find the ISO 9660 filesystem from which the running
system was booted.

(The confusing messages are excusable. Debian ISOs are originally supposed
to boot from CD media. USB sticks are a novelty from 2011. :))


Have a nice day :)
