Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
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

Thanks for your report, although frankly I consider this a feature, not a bug. It's also bug 74747.
