Fine.  It's a wishlist bug, notice.  I don't expect the Potato
installer to be fixed -- I'm not even convinced it *is* fixable --
but I'm concerned about the future.

Absolutely, and that was my point in filing the bug in the first
place.

   ADC> Closing this bug.

Reopening this bug.  If there's a separate woody installer package
in the BTS, then please reassign the report to that package.

Thanks,

 Behind the counter a boy with a shaven head stared vacantly into space, 
 a dozen spikes of microsoft protruding from the socket behind his ear.
