Imagine the following situation: you used the online update, but did not install e.g the Opera patch. The package manager knows about the Opera patch, because it already downloaded the list of available (synched with the update repository). What will happen if now the user wants to install Opera? Will there be a timeout waiting for response from the sever (thus a delay before installing from the DVD)? Or a quick check that there is no internet connection? Or an error? Of course, I would expect what you say: just install from the CD/DVD, and preferably without waiting for a response from a server that will never come (a very short checking is fine).
