Package: software-properties-gtk

The problem disappears when the missing URI is added to sources.list:
deb http://<mirror>/debian lenny main
which was not included by D-I (because of install being networkless).
This requires editting sources.list by hand, which defeats the purpose of
providing software-properties-gtk.
