Anyway, I did it this way now. Means, the "Install CUPS for all desktop tasks" change - which is already in testing - has now been uploaded to bullseye as well. ... being this my first upload to stable - fingers crossed ;-) Now preparing the bugreport for inclusion into stable-proposed-updates...

How do I make the installer media, say netinst ISO, to load the new initrd file (which isn’t covered in the wiki if I’m not wrong)? I thought it required rebuilding the ISO? Regards, Glen

Adding a tar dependency to the boot process doesn't sound great, especially when it's unnecessary.
Possible to force installing from the mirror instead of the installation media?
Hi, I remember reading it somewhere in a Debian doc (though I can no longer find it) that only netboot automatically installs the base system from a mirror, other media install from the media itself and then upgrade via the mirror if allowed. I wonder if it's possible to force the installer to use the mirror for installing the base system? Currently, my installer installs two versions of kernels, one from the media, the other from upgrading via the mirror, which seems like a waste. I couldn't find the preseed directive that controls this. Would be grateful if someone could shed some light. Regards, Glen
Re: Would allowing preseed to be a tarball a good idea?
The installer already supports tar (via busybox) if I'm not mistaken. Regards, Glen

If you install from DVD / other media, as soon as it reaches a mirror, it will update from the package list there - and, in fact, you often see it updating packages in the course of the install at that point. That ensures that you're up to date at the point you touch a mirror so that you don't have to apt-get update or whatever immediately afterwards. This can cause problems if there is a kernel ABI bump or whatever and your netboot kernel has changed significantly on the mirror (if your netinst is too old / you're tracking dailies from testing, for example) but that's an acceptable situation, I think. It nromally resolves quickly - or by using an up to date netboot. On first reboot, the newest kernel will be used anyway: an autoremove would remove the fallback kernel since you didn't boot from it, if you wished to do that. > I couldn't find the preseed directive that controls this.
