  • When installing from a netinst or single CD, the install could be inconsistent when some binary packages from an updated source package are included on the CD but others are taken from a mirror. This could be solved by having apt-setup add p-u to the sources.list (and maybe remove it again during finish-install), but that would need to be implemented. Should be simple to trigger this by having d-cd add a file in the .disk/ directory. Seems like a lot of overhead though given that we'd probably also need to add a few dialogs to inform/warn users.
