Hmmm? The original statement is a bit unclear, but at least the following is true. If you have both CDs and a mirror in your sources list and a package is available from both and the version of the package on both is the same, apt(itude) will always take the package from the CD. If the versions are different, apt(itude) will always take the highest version; in most cases this will be the mirror - with the important exception of CDDs that have customized versions of packages on the CDs.
