Bug#914654: "/etc/apt/sources.list", ask the user to choose between the distribution name and status
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
To complete the file "/etc/apt/sources.list", it would be very
appreciable to ask the user to choose between the distribution name
("stretch" for example) and status ("stable" for example).
I think the distribution status should be the default choice.
