Public bug reported:

I don't have a high-speed Internet connection so I downloaded apart the
DVDs with the Universe/Multiverse repositories, and then added them to
my repositories list.

Sometimes I install a package that needs dependencies from several DVDs,
and apt asks me for those, always in the same order (I suppose this is
the order I added them).

If apt just needs the DVD 2 and this is mounted, doesn't ask it and
installas. But if needs the DVD 1 and 2 and the 2 is mounted, asks me
the 1 and then the 2, instead of using first the one that is mounted.

I know this is not a bug, this is a nonsense. But I know a lot of people
(well, not too much) that use this kind of repositories because want to
use Ubuntu and don't have (or can't configure) their Internet
connection.
