I'm about to go to sleep (now it's only 3 hours away till wakeup! :(
:( ) but I can when I wake up.  Alternately, it's an easy thing to
reproduce this with sysinstall itself!

Just check out a copy of the *2.1* version of sysinstall, build it
with debugging, and go to the configuration/package menu and select
the "All" category.  You'll see the problem quickly enough!
