Thanks for your vigilance.

This is redundant with 1.5 and unnecessary: install_misc/debian.packages 
contains also a reference to Indexdata debian packages.

As far as I understand it, this installation procedure is not intended 
for installing Koha on an existing machine with an already running web 
site. This is a new installation: debian is downloaded (1.1), installed 
and a new Apache and MySql server are also installed. In this situation, 
the Debian 'default' site configuration is not users 'main web site' but 
Debian-Apache default site. This default site blocks  'koha' site. 
Without this modification, people taking a look to Koha will have to 
understand that to get Koha running they have to disable Debian default 
site in the Debian way. That's the reason why I indicate how to do it. 
Maybe a comment could clarify what's this line is doing.

See you,
