Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

installed debian stretch dvd image (from usb flashdrive), used
installer in expert mode, chosen mirror ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de,
protocol http

* What was the outcome of this action?

After installation, there is an entry in file /etc/apt/sources.list
for the cd image but not for the mirror.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

mirror chosen during installation is written to sources.list

Hi Daniel,

I'd absolutely expect this to work in d-i as you expect. Could you
share the installer syslog from your machine please, so we can see
what's happened?
