You are right.
Now Debian 2.0 contains a much better tool to install packages called
"mountable", which will appear as one more dselect access method as soon
as you install the "dpkg-mountable" package.
This new dselect method is *much* faster and makes the old "cdrom",
"mounted", "harddisk", and "nfs" methods to be virtually obsolete.
