The only threshold is only asked for packages versus extra needed packages.
When apt doesn't need to install anything besides what you've told it to
install, it will go ahead right away (which only makes sense - do you want
an ok button^W^WY/N question for each and every action, even if that's
what you have just told apt to do?)

I'd put the cdrom line before the http:// line in /etc/apt/sources.list if
I were you, it would have avoided any net connection at all.
