instalation data is transmitted via http. But its data integrity is
checked by GPG key and hush values.

The only extra risk you expose your system via your network installation
is possibility of attack via network to the system. If you download a
CD image, you are exposing a PC which downloads image but not the PC
installing Debian.
But seriously, Debian is configured as a quite secure system at any time
unless you make stupid configuration yourself. So it is quite safe.
