I have the same setup, if I remove the SD card it will boot from the
internal one instead due to my u-boot environment settings [1] and [2].
Will the debian installer change these settings ? that is not

Neither the debian installer nor a dist-upgrade will change your u-boot
environment settings.
I have used both methods to to install wheezy without problem.
