Package: general
Severity: normal
When installing Debian from the small net-install CD it shouldn't ask for the installation
media by default in aptitude. This is small but kind of irritating when working on a fresh
debian system in remotely.

This is because it's assumed that pulling files which are known to be
on the CD you used to install the system will be faster than
downloading. It's quite trivial to remove them from the sources.list
if you know this to not be the case. [Removal is far easier then
actually adding the proper entries, so having them present is the
right course of action.]
