We can fix it in debootstrap itself, but I'd rather not bloat d-i with this ability when it's not necessary. (That said it might turn out that some other consideration is more important than this; I just don't think completism alone is enough.) Could we have a central sanity check that prohibits this for Priority: required or important, maybe? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
