Apparently (I now remember that discussion), Frans Pop and the original
bug reporter came to an acceptable patch...so it just needs action by
someone for being applied.
I plan to do this in a foreseeable future (understand the upcoming
days..;:-)).
I'm using this patch and I must say I've been founding it useful.
But proposed patch has a kind of bug itself which appears when you
have mixed stable/testing isos.
If stable iso is founding as first one, then if you choose testing iso
the installer is searching a stable distribution on that testing iso
next.

But

lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 7 Oct 18 22:00 testing ->
squeeze
I'm not sure if stable iso should be found as first or to be present
only is enough. But the sure is that attached patch corrects the
problem. Not fully tested but works and is GEFM (good enough for me ;))
