Jakob, a little light is begging to shine. In my reading I did not see anything about apt-cdrom, and so had to guess what had to be added to the config file. I guessed, wrong, it seems.

Remove the proxy settings from your /etc/ > apt.conf and run apt-get update again. I removed the http subsection I had put into the /etc/apt/apt.conf file, and ran the apt-get update. Not sure if I succeeded. There was a lot I missed because scrolled off my xterm, and I can't copy/paste from xterm to get a decent example. However, from what I see, there's a lot about apt-get update should not be used to add new cds; I should use apt-cdrom for that (now that I know such a command exists, the man page is somewhat useful). A set of warnings like this is repeated for each of the seven original disks I had used to install debian. In fact, the entire response that I can see consists of this, except for the three final lines: Reading package lists..., Building dependency tree..., E: some index files failed to download. So I'm not sure if my command succeeded or not. However, when I run # aptitude install <package_not_on_my_cdroms>, it does not seek for it on the web, but just a bunch of warnings that it could not stat source package list cdrom.
