Well, in so far that with CDs that include base you will also get non-security updates if you selected a mirror, but that's only really relevant when installing testing. The security part of it is still valid for every installation method and IMO to the exact same extend [1]. I still feel the changelog could be more precise about this. > > Shouldn't the safe-upgrade call also have --no-recommends? > > It was missing -q --without-recommends -y :-) > > I would like to see an option - at least something preseedable, but > > possibly a debconf question at medium (maybe low) prio - to skip the > > upgrade step. > > Attached are two more patches.

Cheers, FJP [1] OK, if you're using an r0 CD while current stable is r4, there clearly is a difference between installing base from CD or mirror; same for older testing CDs.
