You have debconf configured to use high priority or critical priority mode.
This intentionally skips questions that newbie users don't need to see. If
apt has run successfully, then you have a valid sources.list, and there is
no reason to bother a newbie with adding additional items to it.

Applied. This bug report will be closed when 0.20 of base-config is installed.

Again, you have debconf configured to skip questions that a new user does
not need to be bothered with to get a working system. If you think that any
of the above questions should be seen by an absolute newbie, file a bug
report on it, discussing that as a *single* item.
