Bug#236673: debian-installer: Set the date if it's too far in the past
Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
d-i should, as early as possible, set the system date to something
sensibe (or ask the user) if it's too far in the past.
I'd recommend 2004-01-01 as the smallest acceptable system time.
Otherwise, tar will complain loudly that the timestamps of the files it
unpacks are too far in the future.
