 This change was only aimed to disable installation sources on drives 
 other than optical discs (USB, SD card...) for convenience because they 
 would be unusable and break apt after installation anyway, regardless of 
 network mirror setup.

 I guess the default should be set to the most desirable option for most 
 users of DVD images.

 Smart indeed. Also the installer could warn the user that the 
 installation media will be disabled after installation, encouraging them 
 to use a network mirror. Daniel's reply inspire me another idea: some 
 users may wish to not use a network mirror during installation but have 
 it set up on the installed system.
