I could have sworn this wasn't the case but if bugs on the Debian tracker are updated, then maybe you never could install without a network connection. Debian-installer cannot be reported with ubuntu-bug, it appears, because its bugs are not tracked there but with the Debian tracker. There is a bug there describing this problem from 2007, though: http://bugs.debian.org/429926
