so in looking at this, it seems that the shell script data/apt-cdrom-
check is responsible (used as helper script) for determining if the
media contains a valid upgrade source, so that seems the correct place
to fix this.

I'm not sure though what the best method to go about that would be.

looking at an 11.10 cd, i see the .disk/info path contains some
version/release information that could be used to make a comparison
agains /etc/lsb-release on the base system, but i'm not sure if older
releases also had the .disk/info on the install media, or if it would be
preferable to carry an array of some md5's of the older media?

i'm going to see about snagging some older ubuntu releases to look at
and see whether .disk/info is even a good option.
