That's irrelevant; d-i does not default to ftp.us.debian.org, and it *does* present cdn.debian.net near the top of the list of choices (but never as the first choice). I think it should be used, but IMO it should become cdn.debian._org_ first, at least for stable. For sid and testing it's ok without debian.org but a stable install should fetch things from .org. It doesn't need to move moved to the .org TLD. It does need to become blessed as an official Debian service.

So the next step to solving this bug would be to get cdn.debian.net be an official Debian service. However, I guess that's going to take a while. Feel free to close this bug, if you wish; I'm sure once cdn is official, debootstrap will switch to it anyway.

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Using debian-installer etch beta-3 (full CD, x86) in expert mode:
In task selection I selected only Standard Install, additionally to
the CD I added apt-proxy: with path /debian/ as install source
(using the d-i menus).
On package 95 of 102 (reproducible, it is always 95 of 102) the
progress bar stops. Only switching to the shell and killing apt-http causes
an error to be displayed so I can try installing again.
I don't know if the apt-proxy (standard sarge version) problem was caused
by a malformed request of d-i, output in /var/log/apt-proxy.log is
appended to this report.
I never had problems with the apt-proxy installation before this.
