I mentioned the MR in Trixe D-I wishlist [1] and kibi commented:

The proposed change does not affect the logic related with ISO image 
types though. It only adds an alternative condition to disable cdrom 
sources after the installation if the installation media is not a real 
optical disc, e.g. a USB flash drive so that apt does not choke on it.
