I have presented the installer's main menu in an earlier post. There is
no option for choosing a mirror before partitioning is offered. Now I
may, of course, misunderstood what is happening, or not seen a menu
item, or failed to delve deeply enough into the options offered. But
there is a 'Configure the package manager' option after installing the
base system - so why have the same thing twice?

This is technical evidence? The only evidence you should be satisfied
with is what you can obtain and verify for yourself. So do it. Run a
Wheezy netinst installer inexpert mode. You need go no further than
loading the installer components from CD.
