I have a large hard disk but a low data cap on my internet connection.
I have all the distribution DVDs stored as *.ISO files in a single

It would *SEEM* to be logical to use the "file option" of sources.list .
HOWEVER, all I've ever seen is the kludge of individually loop
mounting all the ISO files.
Is that my only option?

No, not your only option. You could copy all the files locally and use
dpkg-scanpackages. You could use reprepro. There are many ways to skin a
cat.
