Oh dear. Things really ought to be tailored on install to use the
network repositories for the apt sources, not the cdrom.

Installing from netboot rather than netinst media ought to achieve that,
I'm not sure with ts-debian-hvm-install uses though or how to achieve it
via preseeding if it isn't the default for the given media.

What does /etc/apt/sources.list contain for your installed L1 guest?
Does it contain both cdrom and http entries?
