Comments/Problems:
Long standing problem since Jessie.
The system will not recognise the usb stich used for the installation.
Fiddling will will not get the stick recognised.
This horrible hack works. modifying /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00CDMountPoint
to read
Acquire::cdrom {
mount "/media/usb";
}
Dir::Media::MountPath "/media/usb";
"usb" was originally "cdrom".
/etc/apt/sources.list reads (comments removed).

Related problem.
apt-cdrom add will not detect a usb stick
Do we need an apt-usb?
The test installation was done with this machine, but on a different
HDD.
Identical problems were experienced on two other machines with both
32 and 64 bit versions of the usb sticks.
