Package: debian-installer Version: 20121114 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae Debian Release: wheezy/sid 990 testing security.debian.org 990 testing ftp.de.debian.org 500 unstable ftp.de.debian.org 500 precise ppa.launchpad.net 1 experimental ftp.de.debian.org --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty. Package's Recommends field is empty. Package's Suggests field is empty. Hello all, i discovered that the expert mode of the debian-installer contains the option to add contrib and non-free repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list I think this is a bug. From here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_debian_is_100_free_software Debian installs only free software by default to respect user freedoms. and especially: No packages in main depend nor recommend packages in non-free nor contrib. The expert mode does not explicitly recommend to use contrib and non-free, but he doesn't do the opposite neither. Also the start page of Debian states: "Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer." as the very first sentence. I think this should be taken as serious as possible (assuming what one wants is a free operating system, which i think is given). Thanks for reading, greetings M.Tornow
