Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.2.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: ***@gmail.com
Debian 12, bookworm, images are missing the contrib section of the repositories
in their entirety. This prevents the use of, for instance, installing ZFS on an
offline computer.
There is quite a lot of useful software in the contrib section and excluding it
from the media sets are a burden, especially for archival purposes of releases.
Using the current mirrors can be fine and all, but eventually 12 won't exist in
the current mirrors anymore, including all the software in contrib.
(Maybe there's an argument that contrib is used for many things that don't really
belong in it. Hypothetically, it's software that depends on non-free, but in
practice, much of it is completely usable without non-free dependencies.)
