Ok. I've just downloaded netinst iso from here:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso

$ md5sum debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso 
762eb3dfc22f85faf659001ebf270b4f  debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso
$ sha1sum debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso 
a41801dcc0e37bce2406e18b334f99ae366d6fde  debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso

Launched it, poked it a bit, and ... lo and behold - I've got my
favorite "enter information manually" just after the "base system
install".

Because apparently you choose certain "Debian archive mirror
country" (US I presume from the list of the mirrors) and what you
really needed was right at the top of the *country selection list*.
So, again, apparently you have not looked hard enough.

Of course, there's another possibility is that you managed to try to
install from a counterfeit Debian netinst image :)
