+I think it might be nice for a screen there (before updates) to select cdrom 
+(by default off), network sources (by default on) and maybe a few subcheckboxes 
+below (nonfree, tainted, backports) which could be unselected by default.
+Possibly an advanced window here to have manual selection of mirror.
