Installation reports are best sent to debian-boot.

It seems very likely that the files are the result of a maintainer
script bug rather than any kind of attack. However, you'd need to be
able to narrow it down to a particular package before you wipe the disk
in order to file a bug, really.

Okey, a short update.
The installer, still kick-ass, though, i wasnt able to make it install
lilo instead of grub. i skipped the "install grub" and choosed "install
lilo" instead, bud as i hit enter, i see the installer saying
"installing  Grub" .. not lilo.
Weird.. (i know its still under development.. just wanted to let ya
know)

I have narrowed down the possibillities of things that could be the
cause of that file. 
1st) I had a visitioir, simple as that. i was kindof unprotected, though
still it feels pretty stupit to leave a file that visible...
2nd) What i can think of, the only package i havent installed that was
on this box before is the mldonkey-server & mldoneky-gui packages, wich
i was using..

anyway, would appreciate some opinions. what could have caused this..
shall i post a bug report? 

btw, sorry for the "anonymity" before, not used to this. ;)

Best regards
