Package: debian-edu-install Version: 1.715 Severity: important Hi,
In order to add the debian-edu repositories to the APT sources, there is a useless and painful wget test during the debian-edu-profile step. Since there is no way to declare an HTTP proxy setup, this test is doom to fail in hostile environment (e.g. most of French high schools), and there is no way to declare “yes, I really know what I’m doing, stop bugging me, just add the repositories right now”. Then, since the debian-edu repositories are not added, the installation will fail a lot later due to missing packages. Furthermore, since the repositories will be tested anyway a little later (during the package manager setup step), this early test is not really useful. Please note that the mirror/http_proxy will be honored at this further step, allowing anyone behind a proxy to actually install tjener (and even use an apt-cacher-ng like setup if needed…). Thanks in advance for dropping this test (or providing a way to bypass it).
