For clarity, how about we separate the two types of network access?

In addition, d-i relies on access to the apt repo for the system.
I can imagine other uses of that, so I added a carve-out for that.

   For packages in the main archive, no required targets may attempt
   network access on non-loopback interfaces, except to the apt
   repository    used by the system.

   For packages in the main archive, no required targets may attempt
   network access on the loopback interface, except to services that
   were started by the build process. Services started by the build
   process must be shut down after use.
