That's not necessary, as soon as new versions of the the packages arrive in
the distribution, the cd will contain only outdated packages. The desktop
desktop default installation will install synaptic and at update the older
versions from the netinst will have lower priority than the web. Also, take
into account that the netinst contains only the base-install (AFAIK, please
correct me if I am wrong), so it is likely that *every* system will have those
packages installed and never removed, so no need for a CD anyway.
OTOH, I agree that the analysis above is a nice consequence, and probably not
so clean in theory.
