two surprises from testing install



I just succeeded in installing today's version of testing and found two
surprises.  Maybe these should be separate posts.  Anyway, here they are:

1. /etc/apt/sources.list, which is:

------------------------------
#

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 \
 NETINST Binary-1 20110215-15:58]/ wheezy main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main

deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
------------------------------

   Shouldn't this list "testing" or "wheezy" in it somewhere?  As you see,
   the CD was Wheezy.  I watched the installation, and all the packages were
   being requested from squeeze.

2. On booting, I was surprised to see that no gnome, gdm, xinit, or evolution
   packages were there.  Of all of these, I will only need xinit (for fvwm).
   Still, I have used gnome for testing purposes and was surprised that it's
   no longer part of the standard installation.

Thanks.
