Sounds like a race: If rdate manages to get a reply back and set the clock before clock-setup and cdebconf update the progress bar, #436497 could still happen. That seems unlikely to occur in real life, but a hung installer is bad enough that I'd rather avoid even the possibility. Re newt, I've isolated the patch from upstream git and sent it to the bug, and it could easily be NMUed with it. -- see shy jo
