(Get the code!)
By just doing a Google search, it seems that this bug has been around for a couple of years now.
Shouldn't the installer just offer to remove the packages that, if not updated, would conflict with those coming from the alternate CD ---maybe offering to create an install list with those, that the user can import into Synaptic later, once an internet connection becomes available.
Right now, this install option seems useful only if you have never installed anything outside the main or restricted components ---which seems highly unlikely, since main and restricted contain only about 10-25% of the packages available to debian/ubuntu (e.g., gufw is not in main).
