The script is currently working but needs periodic maintanence. It also
probably is broken on some non-i386 architectures; I think there are
some it has never worked on.
What we really need is to move it out of the boot floppies and into
some other package. Ben Collins had an interesting idea involving
putting it in libc-pic, since the two are tightly bound and could be
maintained in tandem.
It has tight bindings to slang-pic too though, and is currently not
greatly debian specific, so that may not actually be a good idea.

It's both really. We want to do it for debian-installer, and if it
popped up in the boot-floppies TODO adam wants it for the boot floppies
too.
