We still haven't managed to get around to merging support for backports over the past few years, but I'd slightly prefer if we could merge it first.
Didn't debian-installer add support for adding backports to the sources.list during installation? I vaguely remember having seen such an option which could be checked during installation. But I assume that one merely set up backports for the target system to be used after the installation without the possibility to pull backports packages during installation.
I only have a vague recollection, but ISTR net-retriever was only able to perform installations from a single source, and I had to implement merging Packages files from stable and stable-backports, which I don't see in your proposed patch.
I agree, that would be a sensible thing to do first. Adrian -- .''`. John Paul Adrian Glaubitz : :' : Debian Developer - glaub...@debian.org `. `' Freie Universitaet Berlin - glaub...@physik.fu-berlin.de `- GPG: 62FF 8A75 84E0 2956 9546 0006 7426 3B37 F5B5 F913
