Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The etch DI release (at least) adds source package lines to apt, which
on a slow link (eg, 128k ISDN) can add several minutes to the install
time. As a vast majority of *users* never need them please consider
disabling them by default.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores)
Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
