While doing an install of Ubuntu Server 8.04 i noticed lots of these
lines in my proxy log:

The server is downloading source package lists.
I would consider this a bug for two main reasons:
- servers shouldnt have source enabled
- it shouldnt look for updated source in an install (nothing to update) its 
just a waste of bandwidth
