apparently this was recently changed in debian-installer, though sounds like
/media/cdrom has been viable at least since lenny, so this sounds ok to apply.

you'd also need to add --accept-unsigned-packages to the default commandline
arguments:

i'm not aware of CD images that actually have signed release files, so i guess
this isn't any more evil than installing from cd ever is...

sure does!

if i don't get to by tomorrow, i might not get a chance to fix it till next
week as i'll be traveling on and off. feel free to NMU (or maybe another
pkg-ltsp team member?) if you need it fixed sooner.

live well,
