Yeah, I added that in latest installer SVN (not in .deb yet) - it retries when apt-get -d install fails. (It should probably be a "Abort, Retry, Help!" dialog so it doesn't go on and on..

I can't make debootstrap do it sanely since for some bloody weird reason, "Unable to download package" is a bloody warning.
