Package: debian-installer
Version: 20130430
Severity: wishlist

I was installing Debian on a system with a fairly slow disk, and said "No"
to whether I wanted to run popularity-contest. The installer continued on
and happily installed it, just to purge it immediately afterwards. With my
slow disk, the delay was noticable. Perhaps the installer could be taught
not to install the package at all if I say no?

This is not possible. The question that is asked is part of
popcon maintainer scripts. So, for the question to be asked, popcon
has to be installed.

Then it is removed by a pkgsel hook in the installer. In short, the
question you see does not belong to D-I.
