A standard install asks no questions about repo choices (alpha4)
When using the standard ("non expert") installer it does not prompt about using security or release updates (it silently adds security.debian.org and release updates to sources.list), and doesn't ask the users choice about contrib and non-free software.

Title changed from A standard install asks no questions about repo choices to A standard install asks no questions about repo choices (alpha4)

Do you not think this is a reasonable thing in the standard install to do?
I've fixed it so it now selects devuans (not yet existing) security repo.
I could change it's debconf priority to make this question always appear.
Edited by Daniel Reurich -
It's reasonable (debian has it the same way iirc), but I thought it was unexpected because the dialogues allow less experienced users to use contrib/non-free software without much fuss.
Edited by dev1fanboy -
I guess it streamlines the install for less experienced or users wanting an out of the box experience quickly for less prompts and ensuring they get the latest and most secure version of everything.
perhaps @jaromil has an opinion.
Anyway - strictly speaking this bug should be filed against https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/apt-setup
