I've taken Rick's suggested wording: In order to get the full nominal speed when writing to BD-RE (i.e. without the slowdown caused by the drive's internal defect management), add the option <tt>stream_recording=on</tt>. >http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#old >Note that when you install using an old CD/DVD, the contents of >/etc/apt/sources.list will reference the current stable Debian release >by default.

I've changed it to: <p>Note that when you install using a really old CD/DVD (pre 4.0, Etch), the contents of <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> will reference the <em>current</em> stable Debian release by default.
