Eventually, we should converge on a consensus that the remaining differences,
if any, do not prevent us to claim that the cloud images are genuine Debian systems (DebianBug:706052).

== Availability of installer source code ==

 * Standard systems are prepared with DebianInstaller, which is packaged in the Debian archive. TODO: check if the source code of all scripts used to prepare the binary images of DebianInstaller (install CDs, etc.) is also packaged.
 * AWS and GCE images are prepared with {{{build-debian-cloud}}}, to be packaged (DebianBug:693198). TODO: How about Azure images ?
Line 14: Line 9:
 * AWS, Azure and GCE images are available on the respective public clouds.
Line 15: Line 11:
 * Debian does not distribute binary images of standard systems, but distributes installation media with a binary image of DebianInstaller.
 * AWS, Azure and GCE images are available on the respective public clouds.
 * Distribution of a generic cloud image in the debian archive is under discussion.
 * TODO: How about the Debian live images ?

 * Standard systems contain all packages installed by {{{debootstrap}}}, plus the ones installed by {{{tasksel}}}.
 * Cloud systems contain all the packages installed by {{{debootstrap}}}. Addition of extra packages such as {{{less}}} and {{{psmisc}}} are discussed in (DebianBug:696154). Addition of {{{cloud-init}}} from {{{wheezy-backports}}} is discussed on the mailing list.
