OK, looking through 'anna' (finally found it *$ing package which only produces udebs), it looks like it should *not* need to be modified.
'anna' can be invoked multiple times with different retrievers, which is all that is needed for this. (There may be some issue with Packages files. I'm not clear on this yet.) I believe support for installing non-free *debs* is already present, right? It's just non-free *udebs* we're worrying about. (If not, what needs to be done here?) A "retrieve from alternate CD" retriever is probably necessary, which would eject the CD, let you put another one in, install udebs from it, and then eject it and prompt you to put the original CD back in. Doesn't sound *too* hard. Now I have to find where anna is *invoked* from. Sigh... I am in a maze of twisty udebs, all different.... It looks like it's invoked from all over the place. It looks like all I need to do is write an "install-extra-udebs" module which places itself fairly early in the main menu, and asks "Do you want to install additional installer modules?"... (if yes) "With what retriever?"....(configure anna and the retriever, run anna with that retriever).
