That's precisely the point. The mere fact of *attempting* to use the network (regardless of such attempt being successful or not) is forbidden by Policy. This is what Policy says:

AFAIK, the rationale has always been that nobody in the outside world should ever know that I'm building the package. Please ask for a second opinion if you still believe my interpretation is not correct. (Or tell me what I'm missing if you think I'm missing anything). Thanks.
