debian-installer attemps network access during build, although only to the mirrors listed in /etc/apt/sources.list and in a secure way. This is forbidden by Policy 4.9: For packages in the main archive, required targets must not attempt network access, except, via the loopback interface, to services on the build host that have been started by the build. In addition this brings constraints to the build daemons infrastructure.
As far as I know, this doesn't happen until after d-i asked the question "Do you want to use a network mirror?" and the user answered "Yes", in which case I think that would count as informed consent.
