Bug#1110717: installation-reports: APT sources missing on Trixie

[Daniel Fernandes <dannywritescode@gmail.com>]

Pascal, thank you for pinning down the problem. I do remember reading this message box. My (incorrect) understanding was that this choice is only relevant during the installation process.

Holger, I second the idea of making "Yes" the default option. It may encourage users to select it in case they are unsure what to choose.

Since in
<https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/apt-setup/-/commit/c2f00f4e712b8afb580cf561485d683ba6a5a9f5>
we chose to disable sources entries for more cases (so a higher chance for such disabled entries in summary), maybe we should think about changing the default in the dialog mentioned above?
(or make that smarter: switch the default to Yes, if the entries for cdrom sources are tend to be disabled, or No otherwise?)
