Package: user-setup
Severity: normal

This certainly comes from the following:

user-setup (1.30) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
  * Move main-menu item before partitioning and installation of the base
    system, to get more questions earlier during installation.

This mail will create the bug report. I assign it to user-setup,
though it might become needed to reassign it to rescue and try to deal
with that in this package.
