I'll chime in to what others have said. I think DVD images should not
be the default/main download venue. Even though the careful package

From now on, you may be more likely to get sound with pulseaudio than
without due to upstreams dropping support for Alsa. See for example
Firefox. And the trend will continue si

That date is incorrect. I can't give you a precise date, but the

"Annoys Adam Borowski" is not a very convincing argument.
As for "security hole", I'm not sure what exactly you have in mind
there. I don't see any open CVEs or bugs ta

The dnsmasq-base "recommends" is about providing a dhcp server for
containers not a dns server.
libvirt-daemon-system has the same "recommends" for its VMs.

Why is that relevant? Is installing+downloading the DVD image faster
than downloading netint + installing from network?

Hey,
For a number of years, we've been linking to the amd64/i386 netinst
installer image from the front page. I think it's time to just switch
that to just an amd64 image for stretch now. The vast majority of the
