Hi Adrian,

I think this is a misunderstanding.

There is no 'unreleased' suite on install cdrom
(and I am still unconvinced that one would be of any help there).

The option : --extra-suite=unreleased may be useful
when running debootstrap and installing from a
debian-ports mirror (ie through http or https, not
from a cdrom). This option shouldn't be used on 
netinst and larger cdrom, only in netboot (and mini iso)
and businesscard.

Hence the test in the proposal [1] :

if [ "$PROTOCOL" = http ] || [ "$PROTOCOL" = https ] ||[ "$PROTOCOL" = ftp ]; then

I still hope it will help to find a solution.

Regards,
JH Chatenet
