No, debian-installer needs to be able to work irrespective of the state of specific mirrors because otherwise the installer would always need to be rebuilt _after_ a release has already happened, which is not acceptable. We have already applied a fix (#422442) in the installer that when installing from CD, it will always install the codename that is on the CD instead of installing the suite corresponding to that codename. So, if you install an Etch CD, you will get Etch, even if the mirror still lists Etch as "testing". See also #418382, which would make selecting a release for non-CD based installs a bit more clear. Closing this report as there is nothing further that can be done about this in the installer and the issue reported originally was resolved. Cheers, FJP
