Oh! You mean you're actually supposed to do that? :)

My mistake, I didn't mean the kickstart package, but rather the package 
that provides the full sources.list for apt. I think it is starting to 
click in my head though... The initial kickstart has ayo.freshrpms.net 
in there for all the Red Hat updates (via the os and updates channels), 
but no freshrpms channel until after the dist-upgrade.

Yes, it would seem that some folks are only half-way following 
directions, quite possibly... :(
