I have installed with RC1 and with RC2, but I cannot remember that I
have seen that! Maybe you have used a nightly build? I am interested
who did this when you are correct.
Enabling non-free and contrib in sources.list is a very stupid idea
because Debian is about DFSG software and non-free is not DFSG, and
contrib needs non-DFSG software. I don't think this was a diskussion,
this was maybe somebody who don't know Debian. Or somebody who does not
care about free software, and wants to provocate a bit.
But "backports main" is DFSG software and an official part of Debian. Or
an "official Debian service", like Turbo prefers.
With regards,
