Severity: wishlist
I would be nice if the install process gave the user a chance to modify his
sources.list file before the task selection process. The optimal solution
would be a series of provided sources.list files customized for the area of
the world the user lives in, but the option to change it would be good too,
especially since stable doesn't have task packages right now.
