Petter, we discussed this. I don't think discover2 should be the default
discover used in d-i. It's not tested, and in my own private testing I
ran up against errors that aren't present in discover1. I do not want to
break d-i by using discover2 at this late a date. I'm sorry. discover1
tests fine with kernel 2.6 on my system, and if the user decides to
install discover afterwards, they'll get discover2 anyway. I see no
point in introducing regressions in the hardware detection system at
this point. discover2's database has not been filled out and tested yet.
This needs to happen before it's ready for d-i.
