Description
On w20-575-1 and -2, backports is uncommented in /etc/apt/sources.list, and also provided by cluster-login-config in /etc/apt/sources.list/debathena-backports.list. I'm not sure what caused the former. Guess 1 is that someone was testing on these machines and didn't clean up. Guess 2 is that some Ubuntu tool noticed backports is enabled and automatically uncommented the lines from /etc/apt/sources.list for some reason. Neither really seems plausible, though.

It's unclear whether the right answer is to let the PXE installer keep doing that (Did we know we were doing that? Was it by design? We've been doing it since intrepid.) or to pretend that we never want -backports, and let c-l-c or thirdparty or whatever deal.

Now would be a good time to turn off backports, if we're going to. Anyone want to argue for one way or the other?

amb mentioned that this was probably for radeon (or radeonhd?) configuration on the 755s, if I remember correctly. Something about ATN:17, too?
We could probably get rid of backports, then, at this point.
"I bet I know what causes this:"
pxe/lucid/debathena/preseed.autoinstall:d-i apt-setup/backports boolean true
We've apparently been enabling backports since forever when using the PXE installer?
