Bug#439267: Post-install sources.list should contain commented-out generic URIs



Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

If installing via CD or DVD, the sources.list post-installation should
contain the generic APT URIs commented-out. For example:

 #deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main
 #deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main

 deb <cdrom installation source here>

This would help users to quickly enable internet-based sources if required.

It would be particularly useful to users of graphical APT tools (such as
Synaptic, etc.) where enabling a previously disabled source is trivial
compared to the apparent complexity of constructing a source URI from scratch.

(It might even make sense to include the above generic URIs for all types of
install, even when they are dependent on an internet connection.)
