Hello all,
i discovered that the expert mode of the debian-installer contains the
option to add contrib and non-free repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list

I think this is a bug.

From here: 
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_debian_is_100_free_software
Debian installs only free software by default to respect user freedoms. 
and especially:
No packages in main depend nor recommend packages in non-free nor
contrib. 
The expert mode does not explicitly recommend to use contrib and
non-free, but he doesn't do the opposite neither.

Also the start page of Debian states:
"Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer."
as the very first sentence.

I think this should be taken as serious as possible (assuming what one
wants is a free operating system, which i think is given). 

Thanks for reading, 
greetings
M.Tornow

Confirmed, this is not a bug.
