Bug#596716: debian-installer: please add easy path to bpo and volatile sources
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
Today I wanted to install Debian "lenny" on a recent new machine with is not supported by debian-installer kernel in "lenny". I also tried kmuto's d-i backport, but it is bit out of date. I believe it would not be hard to ask a new debconf question on whether you want to add bpo and/or volatile sources list for the installer to pick up new kernel and packages.
Best regards,
