d-i _could_ make use of usb-modeswitch{,-data} without too much hassle, but
that would just make the GSM modems appear. Then there's modemmanager as
interface for it, and 3gpp is also needed. This makes for a lot of packages
needed to be installed to get a network connection *during d-i*.

You are mixing two entirely unrelated questions here:
* d-i context. It currently has (somewhat limited) WiFi support; we could
discuss mobile broadband support (and this is the subject of your bugreport)
* what is installed by CD-1; you are arguing that usb-modeswitch{,-data}
should be.
I can agree two both wishlist ideas, but they are unrelated.

Bug#831003: support gzip'd kernel image
Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.67
Tags: patch
flash-kernel currently always sets the compression type to "none" when
generating uImages. However, if the source vmlinuz file is gzip'd - as
is the case if you build the "Image.gz" kernel target - this will
prevent U-Boot from being able to boot it[1]. If the uImage is
generated with a compression type of "gzip", then it boots fine.
The attached patch checks the source image type and sets the
compression setting appropriately.
[1] At least, this is true on APM Mustang systems

I started working on a patch that will at least run "msgcat -c" on PO files at some critical steps. The first place where this is needed is the place in l10n-sync where we merge all sublevel PO files for a given language into one big "master" file, that is, later on, used to update individual packages' files. I found at least one place where a broken PO file is happily merged with other file without error being thrown out. This is what explains the current breakage on da.po and be.po I'm currently testing a patch to fix this and have l10n-sync abort its operations when this happens. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

With a CD1 install without network, you probably don't get an GUI system.

Bug#830951: Support usb dongles via usb-modeswitch and network-manager during installation
package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist I installed a desktop system using jessie 8.5 cd 1 image. Even though desktop was selected, I was booted into a text terminal because I could not use my usb dongle during installation. After the system is installed, I still could not use the dongle. After connecting my android phone and usb tethering, I could install usb-modeswitch and use internet. I think graphical system with synaptic should be installed on CD 1. I understand the whole gnome can't fit into a CD, but it should be in a position to be able to install more software. Can we install gdm3 and synaptic on CD1?
