The remote-repo URIs should always get included into /etc/apt/sources.list on installation. It is possible that we install in a place without internet access and want to connect our computer later. Some security hints also suggest to always install offline and shut all services down before connecting the first time. Moreover we still have computers being offline most or all of the time. My suggestion simply is to put all remote repo URIs into /etc/apt/sources.list in any way also if the installation is proceeded offline. If we select offline or abort a connection attempt these lines should simply be commented out rather than fully deleted. We will also need them for computers kept 100% of the time offline since we can transport software to them via a USB disk or stick taking our sources.list and /var/lib/dpkg/status with us to feed apt with the necessary information for an offline installation.
