I agree with this. The best we can do for now is probably the following:
- netcfg and choose-mirror on businesscard
- netcfg on netinst (networking is needed for second stage)
- none of the above for full cd sets
Do you know how hard it would be to use the d-i netcfg in base-config?
Are all the features of cdebconf available in perl debconf?
BTW, does anybody know where these udeb_include files are defined? Is
this in debian-cd?
