Today's i386 netinst (20051006): still secure apt failure



I have just tested the latest debian-installer image and installation 
still fails with a warning that packages can not be authenticated even 
though
   APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";
is set in /target/etc/apt.conf.

I have tried passing the option on the command line and changing the 
format of the configuration file, but nothing I tried worked.
Seems like the option is being ignored.

Hmmm. Just looking at the sources.list.
At this stage of the installation we don't use apt-cdrom, but install from 
the netinst iso itself using:
   deb file:///cdrom etch main

So I guess we also need an option like
   APT::Authentication::TrustFILE "true";

Or we need to instruct apt-install to run with --allow-unauthenticated, 
which of course is very bad for network installations.

Not filed a bugreport yet. Want to get feedback on this first.

Versions of relevant packages used in the image:
- apt (in chroot): 0.6.42.1
- base-installer udeb: 1.35.2
- debootstrap-udeb: 0.3.2
