Good so far, my only quibble is that cdrom/base_installable is kind of a not very useful abstraction over /cdrom/.disk/base_installable. > 5) Add following functionality in apt-setup postinst if > cdrom/base_installable is true: > - copy debconf values for suite and codename from cdrom/ to mirror/ > - ask new question (with a nice explanation in its description): > a) use both normal mirror and mirror for security updates > b) use only mirror for security updates > c) don't use network mirrors a. and b. seem confusible to me, could it be reduced to a boolean that just asks if it wants to use a mirror?
