Not really. "Debian" (the distribution) is the installed system or the
software repository where I install software from.
I see installation media as a partial offline mirror of the archive
(with several options what "partial" means between netinst media and
large BD media) plus some technical bits so it starts the debian-
installer software (which is part of Debian).
So as far as I am concerned the GR only changes what the partial
offline mirror contains.
