lenny point releases do get communicated to live (see ml archives of
-live@).
but point releases (where -live builds *after* the publication of the
image, just as -cd does) are different from initial releases (where -cd
and -live are published *at the same time* as the release itself).

has -cd been contacted in that process? if so, then -live shall be too.
tip for the next time: if 'core' team means ftp-master for you, just
write ftp-master in the first place.

d-i people need to comment as they know best about the changes that has
broken it.
> Did I miss critical issues?
#607225 (we don't even have an error handling for that case), #608042
(lacking progress bar, user sitts 20min in front of the machine and
thinks it's hanging, but then magically continues).
both are regressions in d-i and need d-i people to comment.

see various bts logs of my reported bugs where the release team things
that basically most live related bugs that are filled with serious can
be defered.

if -cd team handles the testing during the release process and handles
all support afterwards for the live images that they have build and
which we don't had any control over it, i'm fine by that.

wiki.d.o seems down, therefore could not check.
