Package: fai Severity: wishlist Installing Debian Squeeze with Iceweasel from squeeze-backports does not work well. Using the syntax iceweasel/squeeze-backports in my packag_config does not cut it. Aptitude will try to install Iceweasel from squeeze-backports, but not its dependencies. For this, one should use the '-t' parameter with Aptitude.
Currently, this can not be done with install_packages. Please include support for custom parameters. For example, the syntax could be: PACKAGES aptitude CLASSNAMES OPTIONS-MIRROR -t squeeze_backports OPTIONS-INSTALL package1 package 2 ... Install_packages is used to get all .deb packages when building the mirror repo, but also when installing the packages during a FAI install. Both steps might need different custom options. The '-t' parameter would probably not work during FAI install; it's only needed for retrieving the packages and building the mirror.
