Karl,

You are wrong and misinterpreting what the manpages are saying.  What do 
you think aptitude uses in order to find the repos?  It uses your 
sources.list to check for updates and when you do a CD install, it keeps 
  a record of that local install in your file.  Comment those lines out 
that pertain to your CD-Rom and you won't get those errors.

The servers would have no point of reference pertaining to your CD-Rom.
