  Ahh, hang on ... maybe -D and -L /should/ be allowed together.

  See /etc/setup/last-action.  It memorized your "-D" from last time round
(just as it would memorise which radio button you selected).

  So my first thought was that the real issue here is that we need to add a
"-I".  But then looking at last-action I see that it works how the
command-line options could/should work: it has "Download" or "Install" or
"Download,Install"; i.e. it's like checkboxes rather than radioboxes.

  So I figure we ought to make -D and -L together work as if you had specified
nothing at all.


    cheers,
