DISTRIB_RELEASE is set to "3.1 (installer build $(BUILD_DATE))" in d-i, so won't this make choose-mirror try to download a nonexistant Release file and die? I don't follow the reasoning that connects DISTRIB_RELEASE with PREFERRED_DISTRIBUTION either. DISTRIB_RELEASE has a specific format and contents required by lsb stuff, while PREFERRED_DISTRIBUTION is whatever debian distribution name we need to set it to today to make d-i work well. Now, we could add an internal-use debconf question instead of the hardcoded PREFERRED_DISTRIBUTION string or something like that.. -- see shy jo
