I agree with that.
The current rule is that the CD is added to the sources list when the CD is used for the installation of the base system. I agree that adding the CD is less usefull when installing from a netinst. However, we currently cannot distinguish between a netinst CD and a full CD in the installation. We hope to add that before Etch, and maybe we will change this aspect then too.
