I didn't hear any objections to this approach. Petter, can you please
test the following patch to make sure it doesn't break LTSP (it
shouldn't). If you confirm, I'll commit it.
I tested this patch to bootstrap-base.postinst, and this did affect
LTSP negatively. :(

Thanks to #589646, LTSP do no longer install in squeeze, so I can't
test at the moment.

When Debian Edu set up its thin client server, the installer reuse the

avoid having to download the same packages again when creating the

Would it be a major problem simply to use a web proxy instead? (Just
curious).
For some sites, yes. :)
For others, no.
We do provide a squid proxy already as part of Debian Edu, but as this
reuse of the apt cache is an optimization, it should be fairly obvious
that it is a

Yes, when you have only 512 MB of storage, those 70-80 MB of debs that
are downloaded during base install really hurt.

It looks it will need to be optional otherwise this is going to break
Debian EDU.
But I see your point in doing it twice :)
One setup that would not break Debian Edu is to clean the apt cache
once just after debootstrap, as bind-mounting the apt cache is only
done after

Nonsense. If you're that short on diskspace you have a totally unusable

So it being done at base-installer time would not hurt you, indeed.
