Release goals
* Debian Installer working on all architectures
- yeah, got that
- d-i RC3 is out
* Software updates
* another glibc update pending
* PHP 4.3.10-10 and friends needed for an ABI change;
4.3.10-11 needed after that (segmentation faults of truth and
light have returned
* OpenLDAP 2.2: slapd 2.2 needed for sarge to fix data
corruption problems; currently in experimental; needs
upgrade testing. Libs kept at 2.1.30 version.
* logrotate built by hand on m68k; needs a t-p-u load to
ensure it can be autobuilt by the security team (XXX: still current?)
* mdnsresponder (howl) must come out for license reasons;
waiting on rebuild of gdm and one last upload of
epiphany-browser
* Others?

included in sarge:
