Control: retitle -1 please stop ejecting the installation medium
Control: tag -1 wontfix

Gordon Graham y...@wgw.name (16/12/2012):
 Subject: installation-reports: The installer, when finished, ejects
 the optical disk.  This is unhelpful and annoying, especially if you
 are installing from an .iso image into a virtual machine, and wish
 to install packages from the disk after the install (and APT
 sources.list defaults to an install from a local disk vs. network
 servers).  Ejecting the optical disk is a bad solution to the
 problem of inexperienced users inadvertantly re-entering the
 installer after the install is complete; a more helpful solution
 wuld be something similiar to Microsoft Windows, which, if it
 detects a hard disk is bootable, prompts the user to strike a key if
 they wish to boot from the CD-ROM (and if no key is pressed within 5
 seconds, automatically defaults to booting the hard disk).

If you don't want the installation medium to be ejected, you can
e.g. in virtualbox go in the General→Advanced tab, and untick
“Removable Media: Remember Runtime Changes”

There’s also cdrom-detect/eject which you can set to “false”.

I don't think this is a behaviour we are going to change, so tagging
wontfix, at least for now.

Mraw,
KiBi.
