Yes, you're right. This fixes the bug.
Thanks, you are very fast!
I suggest that you post a message to debian-boot and debian-cd to inform all
about this fix. I'm sure that other people (will) know this problem too.
It's also possible that another directory name containing "udeb" (such as
udeb-dir ??) was used in the past instead of debian-installer. If this is
true, than you should exclude this path as well.
Nevertheless it's important that the debian-installer and CD creator people know
that apt-cdrom needs to be patched, whenever they change the directory name.
Let's hope that *.udeb's are not available in default paths such as main, contrib,
non-free.
Again thanks,
Jens
