package: gnome-packagekit
severity: normal

In normal cases this can be considered a wishlist bug, but since this
is the default package management program installed with CD 1, I think
this feature is important when a user just downloads only CD 1. Since
we can't fit most required packages in CD 1 a user would want to scan
more cds or dvds or add a network mirror after installation. Currently
gnome-packagekit does not have these options. So we should have

1. Easy way to scan more cds, dvds or usb/local disk repos (synaptic
already has an option to add cdroms)
2. Easy way to add a network repository similar to how the installer
does it. Debian Installer might already have the full mirror list.
(this could be a good addition to synaptic as well)

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
