A CD/DVD image is not the same as a hard drive.
The internal structure differs,
and one can not be copied to the other and expected to work.

Since this is not a bug in dd, I'm closing this item.

For general help regarding operating system installation,
please contact the relevant operating system's mailing list.
In this case, likely Debian-user mailing list:
   https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
See also https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists .
