Additional off-line discussion revealed that the system installation was done off-line, so sources.list contained only deb lines for the first CD-ROM plus commented-out lines for wheezy-updates and security. It would probably be a good idea for the installer to add commented-out sources.list lines for the main archive, even if the installation is done off-line.
