Title:
  Ubuntu 19.10: "Cdrom" to "Physical media"

Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Do this: open the app Software & Updates > select first tab named
  Ubuntu Software (if not already by default) > observe section
  Installable from CD-ROM/DVD

  In those good ol' days, Ubuntu was installable only from a CD and
  later from a DVD. Nowadays, USB thumb drives are superceding this,
  which makes the whole string wrong, even the title.

  So, I propose this:
  Installable from physical media
  Physical media with Ubuntu [...]

  This makes it future-proof as well, since god-knows-what is going to
  exist in the future to boot Ubuntu from, but it will be physical media
  for sure.

  Care to fix this? Also, I would gladly make a PR request to speed up
  the process (provided you tell me how).
