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

It doesn't look this ever got a reply. Given the age of the report, and
the fact that I've experienced it worked as-designed many times in the
past few years, I'm going to close the report now.
If you can still reproduce it, feel free to reopen.

Adam
