Package: main-menu
Version: N/A; reported 2003-09-27
Severity: normal

To help users identify the version of debian-installer in use, the
version number could be displayed in the main-menu header.  This would
help developers to know whether a reported bug has already been
addressed.

The following patch is probably not complete, because I don't know
if the VERSION variable set in build/debian/rules would always be
valid in this context. Probably it would work for a complete build
only?

I'm closing this bug because I feel it's been addressed in a different
way. When users generate an installation-report, it includes lsb_release
info from d-i that includes the version (build date) of the installer.

So there's not a lot of reason to display the version number at the top
of main-menu, especially since most users never see the main-menu
anyway.

The version is also displated in the f1 help screen when booting on
i386/amd64, BTW.
