We need to test, as closely as possible, the install process post-release. Here is my understanding of the current behavior: * the boot-floppies set SUITE to woody, * base-config sets the default value of apt-setup/distribution to the value of SUITE, but * its possible values are stable, testing, and unstable, so it falls back to the old default, stable. Joey, is this correct? If so, what (if anything) can be done? Matt
