Package: di-utils
Severity: wishlist
The attached patch sets a User-Agent for wget (compatible with both
busybox wget and GNU wget), which allows a site to detect d-i, and (for
example) redirect to a preseed file to avoid having to enter a longer
URL on the d-i command line.

Subject: [PATCH] fetch-url-methods/http: Set User-Agent to "debian-installer"
in wget
This allows a site to detect a Debian installer fetch request and
redirect to a preseed file, avoiding the need to type a long URL on the
d-i command line.
