Support for Debian/sid
Description
In Debian, stable (wheezy) ships with Puppet 2.7.18. I was attempting to set up the installer on Debian/sid, which ships with 3.2.4 (3.3.0 soon). The installer, when run, changes the link in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foreman.list from
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ wheezy stable
to
deb http://deb.theforeman.org/ sid stable
which does not exist, causing the installer to fail. Is it possible to create a dists file for sid, even if it only points back to wheezy? I am guessing that the packages will work on sid as easily as on wheezy.
Thanks,

It's probably doable. The debs are undergoing major work in the next few months (feel free to get invlolved :P) so hopefully we can do this. It's not quite a symlink due to how Freight works, but I'm sure it can be solved.

It's also worth mentioning that in 1.3 onwards (from rc2 onwards, actually) the installer will default to not managing your sources.list(.d/*) files so you'll be able to use the wheezy source location fine anyway...

@Brad: Now that 1.3 is out and the apt sources don't get altered by default in the installer, I think this is effectively resolved - care to test?

I tested it when 1.3 was in beta, and it did install. I concur that the problem is resolved, though I have been overcome by events at work, and have not had time to do more with foreman.
