reassign 596716 apt-setup thanks Quoting Hector Oron (zumbi@debian.org): > 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 I also tried kmuto's d-i backport, but it is bit out of date.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. Reassigning to apt-setup. Please note that recent discussions in -devel have raised the fact the backports are not automatically upgradable, which many people see as a problem wrt security. This probably needs to be addressed in the backporits repository before we think about proposing adding backports through D-I. Volatile could be added in a way similar to the way we currently propose non-free and contrib, though. However: post-squeeze, please.
