Bug#73690: boot-floppies: apt configuration downloads package lists several times
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
Installing latest stable (potato) on i386 servers during apt configuration after each apt source is added the package list is downloaded from each server. Then when dselect is started the package list is downloaded again. This is no problem when installing on a 100 Meg link with one apt source, but is terrible on a shared modem with 4.
