Title:
  Alternate CD upgrade uses network even when it promises not to

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10 using the cdromupgrade on the
  alternate cd. In the beginning it asks if one wants to download the
  latest updates, and *promises that the network will not be used at
  all* if one selects 'no'. However, even on selecting no, it does
  download packages ("fetching file 1756 of 2426 at xx kB/s"), thus
  breaking its promise. Depending on how the user is paying for the
  bandwidth, the update manager's lie this might even cost the user real
  money.
