I mentioned this to Bubulle, since it wasn't displayed as being 'wanted
for RC2' in the LennyRC2Prep wiki page, and he removed the corresponding
item in the ReleaseAnnouncement.  I believe the intention was just not to
transition auto-install 1.3 and stick with 1.2 - but the lenny branch
currently doesn't reflect that.
