Comments/Problems:
I always ask for itemized package selection so I can tweak the packages
that are suggested for certain categories, but in the aptitude session I
was placed into would not allow 'q' to take me from the install screen
to the package selection screen so I could choose some alternate/extra
packages to install. For instance, I always unselect exim and select
postfix instead. I ended up quitting out of aptitude, spawning a shell,
and running aptitude manually (which, fortunately, remembers the state
of the selected packages, and was a decent, albeit clumsy, solution).
I also substituted mysql4 for postgresql, and something weird happened
with one of the mysql packages. Perhaps one of the packages was not
downloaded correctly (is there a check for that?), but whatever the
reason, the mysql-server-4.1 package would neither completely install,
nor let me uninstall it (I tried to continue without installing mysql at
all). I ended up removing the mysql-server-4.1 deb from apt's cache dir
and trying the install again, and this time the file re-downloaded and
installed just fine, and package installation finished without any
further incident.
When configuring my server, I couldn't get SSL working with courier
IMAP/POP or postfix (TLS) until I installed the zlib1g-dev package
(which supplied a needed /usr/lib/libz.so symlink that openssl was
needing). There is a bug already filed on this in the debian bug system
(which is how I found the fix), but it would be nice to get fixed soon
so that people don't keep get tripped up on it (one temporary kluge
would be to add zlib1g-dev to the required packages for the current
openssl package until the openssl package is fixed to use the right
shared library).

Only if you select no (other) tasks at all you get the default aptitude
screen. If you do select a task, you need to select View->New package
view from the menu instead of 'q'.

Sounds indeed like a corrupted download.
As your installation was basically successful and there were no major
issues, I'm closing your installation report. Thank you for your
comments.
Kind of curious how you set up the "bind" mountpoints. Did you do that
during the installation somehow or afterwards?
Cheers,
FJP
