Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: casper

check_dev in scripts/casper could be made more flexible if it was
possible to look for a casper fs (is_casper_path) within an arbitrary
path. At the moment check_dev supports scanning either devices or ISOs.
This could be implemented with the following snippet:

if [ -d "${devname}" ]; then
  mount -o bind $devname $mountpoint
  if is_casper_path $mountpoint; then
    echo $mountpoint
    return 0
  endif
fi 

I will provide a debdiff later on. This could also be used as a
workaround for bug #207137 by only copying squashfs as opposed to
extracting the full ISO.
