[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: debian-cd
version: 3.1.20
severity: serious
justification: it makes menus un readable

I selected Malayalam during installation of last testing snapshot of
stretch, but the system did not have a Malayalam font installed. I'd
think the case would be similar for other languages. Can't we reuse the
fonts used by the installer? It may require changes in the installer to
use normal debs instead of udebs.

 Just a question: Now we provide DVD image, not CD image. Is it still matter?

We have not stopped providing CD images. DVD is an additional option. I think this matters still.

 Well, we've already stopped it 3 years ago.
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/09/msg00004.html

 But, https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/ shows
 debian-9.6.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso as default desktop image... why?

After a lot of requests, I added back configuration to build a
single-CD installer image for xfce. If that's now looking too small
and is missing key packages, I'll check and see what we can do. But we
may now be forced to drop it - we've already worked on minimisation
several times in the last few years.

< Aardvark> I dislike C++ to start with. C++11 just seems to be
            handing rope-creating factories for users to hang multiple
            instances of themselves.
