Bug#240697: base-config: change apt-setup to point to sarge not testing

Package: base-config Version: 2.15 Severity: normal Installed from d-i beta3 CD. And sources list points to testing not sarge. It is probably time now not to repeat failure #154482 and not default to generate moving targets (testing) in sources.list but use the continous names. -- System In

Bug#240698: base-config: apt-setup should default to the chosen country for mirror selection

Package: base-config Version: 2.12 Severity: normal Uh, sorry if this is a dupe, but I checked BTS and couldn't find the bug off-hand. While I'm all thrilled about how base-config now defaults to 'Europe/Berlin' as time-zone when I select Germany in d-i, it would be even better if apt-config also

Bug#240602: boot-floppies: sarge - there may be multiple driver floppies - need to ask for more

Yes. It's the new debian-installer on an OldWorld PowerMac. Jeremie has pointed out that one floppy worth of drivers should be enough to give you access to either a CD-ROM or a network, and that's all you "really" need. So this is actually a "wishlist" request. I have no problem with that.

why does grub-installer prompt for a grub-style disk name?

Users report annoyance that d-i uses so many different user-visible disk names. There are the partition descriptions in partman ("IDE0 slave", whatever), devfs, and in the back of most people's minds, standard /dev naming. That's bad enough, but grub-installer adds to this grub's own naming. So I w
