    base-config package. Simply add a small shell script there that does
    the thing. Use of debconf, ask "Do you want some additional
    sources.list entries" and if yes simply insert them.
    (I changed base-config on the LT2002 CD. Its simply, the things in it are
    just numbered shell scripts using debconf. Well, the things important
    for this :) ).
