Bug#787131: debian-installer-launcher: stores the distribution name at build-time (Debian sid even in Jessie)

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi,

Stephen Kitt sk...@debian.org (2015-05-28):
 Package: debian-installer-launcher
 Version: 19
 Severity: minor
 
 Dear Maintainer,
 
 I noticed in the LXDE live CD that the icon label and menu entry for
 debian-installer say Install Debian sid. I suppose that's because
 the .desktop file is processed at build time in unstable, but I don't
 know what the right fix should be...

Since the question was asked on IRC (esp. WRT stable), here's my answer,
slightly massaged:

It should be fixed in unstable first, possibly migrating to testing;
after that (at least the unstable part) a stable update can be
considered.

At first glance, I fail to see why that should be set at build time in
the buildd chroots; should probably be stored in the source package, and
bumped when a new debian release is out. This would be done the same way
as in src:debian-installer.

Mraw,
KiBi.
