Public bug reported:

Do this: open the app Software & Updates > select first tab named Ubuntu
Software (if not already by default) > observe section Installable from
CD-ROM/DVD

In those good ol' days, Ubuntu was installable only from a CD and later
from a DVD. Nowadays, USB thumb drives are superceding this, which makes
the whole string wrong, even the title.

So, I propose this:
Installable from physical media
Physical media with Ubuntu [...]

This makes it future-proof as well, since god-knows-what is going to
exist in the future to boot Ubuntu from, but it will be physical media
for sure.

Care to fix this? Also, I would gladly make a PR request to speed up the
process (provided you tell me how).

** Affects: python-apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
