Semi-official implies that there is a blessing of "OK-ness" involved.
By the merit of the contents on the CD, it could potentially be labeled
"Official".

Debian CD's distributed WITH non-free packages cannot be labeled as
"Official" or even "Semi-official", because Debian doesn't officially
support non-free or consider it part of the distribution.  Such CD's
should be labeled "Unofficial" Debian CD's.  It contains Debian and
other parts, as you mentioned.
