By now some AC has posted what looks like inside knowledge, some of which covers my questions - there will be a way of creating a bootable USB stick or DVD from which one can install. I'm on 10.6, so buying online will not be a problem for me.
I was rather fearing that 10.7 would be the double-installation joke you propose - first set up an old OSX and install the new one from there. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I mean, hey, all they have to do is have a first step in the installer that says "now please insert a blank DVD so we can burn your installation medium".
