Bug#66037: apt configuration failure (cannot access non-US software)
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A;
Severity: grave
On the first boot the apt configuration asks the user whether he wants to
use non-us software and later it asks what protocol and server to use.
I choose ftp and specified the server manually, choosing my local mirror.
The problem then is that non-us will be fetched from
http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/potato/non-US/...
Of cause on my local network that doesn't work.
For non-us the configuration script ignored all my input and went ahead
anyway. It should ask whether to use the same server for non-US as for the
rest or one of the non-US mirrors or manual input, what protocol to use
(unless the mirror only has one) and where (unless its an official mirror).
May the Source be with you.

PS: I didn't quite try around to much, does the script ask where the mirror
is located (which dir) when choosing a predefined mirror?
PPS: By the way, that configuration for apt is great!
