It does. If you keep the cd-rom entries first in the list, you will install
packets from cd as long as the cd has the most recent version.
Let's say: You have Debian 2.2r0 on CD and Debian 2.2r2 from a
debian mirror in your sources.list.
2.2r0 first in the list will make you load all packages having the same
version number in r0 and r2 from cd, while upgraded packages are loaded from
the mirror.
2.2r2 first in the list will make all packages being loaded from the 2.2r2
mirrior.
Hope this helps.
