Naaaah, really edge case, which also should be handled differently (imho).
If someone has limited/poor/no internet connection, then one should use
media with most (all?) packages.
Next, after succesfull install updates should be applied using local
repository (eg. apt-cacher) which addresses poor network connectivity.
For this reason we have following check in 41cdset generator script:

<snip>

if [ ! -e /cdrom/.disk/cd_type ] || [ ! -e /var/lib/install-cd.id ];
then exit 0fi# Various different image types look different here:##
