Hello debian,
We are using boot-floppies_3.0.18 to newly install debian on the
new computer of my son. To not have to download through my slow cable

No, it's not that simple. dpkg is perfectly releasable right now, in spite
of a jillion normal bugs. Heck, now that Wichert and Adam are working on it,
it's even an example of a well maintained package.
