Bug#1063657: installation-reports: expert install + https asks for a choice with only one option
Package: installation-reports
Severity: minor
Boot method: USB flash drive
Image version: reproduced on debian-12.5.0-i386-DVD-1.iso and debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso

My partner encountered an unexpected UX during point release media
testing, which #debian-cd asked me to report as a bug.
Steps to reproduce:
- boot into expert install (we used text mode)
- accept defaults until "Configure the package manager"
- asked to choose http, https or ftp for file downloads
- choose https
Expected result: maybe one of these:
- be offered a list of countries with https mirrors
- or proceed directly to entering information manually
- or a 2-way choice between https://deb.debian.org/debian or
"enter information manually"
Actual result:
- I'm asked for "Debian archive mirror country"
- the only option is "enter information manually", which makes it look
as though there isn't going to be any reasonable default
- but when I choose that, the default is deb.debian.org, which is good
