Yes, I saw that now, but I don't like requiring two softupdates until it 
takes effect.  My solution is to do it in prepareapt.FAIBASE.  I guess I 
should prepend it with "[ "$FAI_ACTION" == "softupdate"] &&"

The other thing I don't like about this solution is that I now need to have 
the sources.list in both /etc/fai and /srv/fai/config/files.  Can I have 
the copy in /etc/fai be a symlink, or will the scripts barf? 
(make-fai-nfsroot, for example?  what else reads that file?)

cheers
