As a first step, I suggest to extend list-devices() with a "usb-
partition" option which returns only partitions on USB drives. See
https://code.launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/debian-installer-utils/usb-
drive-install

Now debian/cdrom-detect.postinst can use this option either 1) all the
time or 2) when a special boot option like "usb-media" has been entered
or 3) after asking the user if USB drives should be scanned. The
alternatives are listed in increasing coding difficulty :) If 1 or 2 are
acceptable, I can quickly come up with some patches.

Alternate CD cdrom-detect.postinst does not consider USB flash drive/key.
