For Alpha, some important new packages have been put in incoming
yesterday, there probably still some dependencies broken, if nobody
fix them soon, we will ask that the problematic packages be removed.

There is new set of install disks for Debian/Alpha available, it
should go in the archive soon, I will send separately a new slink_cd

implemented in this stuff, and if no annoying bug is found, they can
be the definitive one.

Looks like I send too late to Philip Hands the request for an account
on cdimage.debian.org, so someone else will have to generate the Alpha
part.
