Matthew,

By the way, per the SF case, the customer uses the network install method.
This can be fixed post-release, as SRUs to debian-installer will
produce new netboot images.

Hopefully they (and other people) don't plan to try to use HTTPS on
the _ISO_ installer?
The ISO image is what is more strictly tied to the release date.
I'm not sure how much that scenario makes sense.
(there may be the case of trying to use HTTPS for the ISO installer to
download updates though?)

I'm saying this because this is now (of course!) heading into systemd :-)
specifically the dependencies of the udev-udeb package.  And that may
be just an adventure
to try to fix / SRU before release date. :)

I'll give more details later.

cheers,
