As the dust around the intrusion has settled a bit, I ask all of you to
clear this issue. What I observe from the outside is Sven periodically
ranting about his packages not being accepted by the ftpmasters and not
being given any feedback and that the packages are not in the archive by
now. I don't know what's the real reason for this.

The non-acceptance of these packages holds up the d-i development for
several powerpc subarches (namely oldworld macintosh and pegasos). Also
the integration of the powerpc kernels into the linux-kernel-di
framework is stalled.
I'm using svens new kernels on my machine for several weeks now without
any bigger problems. I know they are not perfect, but now package is
perfect on the first upload after a major change. 

I ask you to provid some feedback on this issue or to accept these new
kernel packages into the archive as soon as is reasonably possible.

Thanks
