Hello, i'd like to have some input about this bug report. Should I do that or should I reassign the bug to apt because it chooses unstable before stable when all 3 links are available ? Keep in mind that I want to be able to generate CDs for stable, frozen and unstable.

Package: debian-cd Version: potato When I issue the following command: apt-cdrom add a line is added to /etc/apt/sources.list saying "unstable", which is wrong for potato in the sense that potato is not unstable, and will never be anymore. Moreover, a user changing the cdrom line by a ftp line will have to change unstable by "frozen", "stable" or "potato", or else the system will be upgraded to woody which is not normally what one wants. This would be fixed by removing the unstable symlink which points to potato in the Debian CDs. The frozen symlink should be removed also considering that official CD images are only released once the distribution becomes stable. Thanks.
