Bug#776002: debian-installer: Better support for installing backports



Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

I have modified Wheezy netinst iso image to add custom preseed.cfg.

One of the tasks I wanted to do with preseeding is to install newer 3.16 kernel
from backports.

The problem is that adding "linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/wheezy-backports"
into "pkgsel/include" line does not quote work - "Breaks: initramfs-tools"
error occurs (visible in syslog).

Please take a look into attached Virtualbox machine screenshot.

I remember having similar problem when installing 3.16 in already working
system, unless one installs linux image with specified "-t wheezy-backports"
(from bug report #771379). I am not sure if that's currently possible using
"pkgsel/include" line, at least it does not work for me.
