No problem for me, there is always room for improvement in the translation :)

What I noticed is that dpkg and apt are not translated so english messages
still appear during package installation stage.  But this is something we
should work on for bullseye release.

It seems that virtio_scsi might also be required for cdrom:

It is hard to tell, but it seems the current state is hardcoded
in different places:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-May/msg00068.html
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/com.ibm.linux.z.lhdd/lhdd_r_console_sum.html

I think it would be better to make debian-installer smarter about
this since we will probably run into the same problem again with
a different architecture/driver.
