Bug Description

When an user installs Ubuntu while not having any network connection, repositories such as restricted,multiverse, partners and others don't get added into the sources.list and once the user obtains network access, he/she has to manually add them from Software Sources in order to be able to install most applications from Add/Remove. I don't think this should be like this, those repositories should be already included in sourrces.list wther the user has connection or not, especially in the case of new users who have no idea about the needs of repositories.

Rejecting upstream task; this belongs on Ubuntu. (Please don't file bugs on ubiquity upstream, but use the Ubuntu package instead.)
