(Please don't put extra junk in the Package: line; just
"installation-reports" is fine. The extra junk causes the bug to have to
be recategorized manually.)

I guess this is so that you can download it in Windows or whatever. It
doesn't seem extraordinarily useful, I suppose; however, at the moment
debian-cd includes tools/ for all architectures, so it's not immediately
easy to change. Reassigning for somebody to think about.

Cheers,
