The only pitfall in this is that you must not ALWAYS click twice, but sometimes only ONCE. I don't remember which package was concerned but it was related to the abscence of a source package (either because the package you want to install IS a source package itself or because there is no sense in one source package, because it does not contain anything but redirections). > Indeed, a PITA, but only a lot of clicking the > first time you run setup.
