Perhaps you should also send a note to the release manager (bcwhite?)
explaining this? He should be notified of this at this point in the
release cycle. Maybe also put some comment on the debian/alpha web page;
that makes it clear we're not just sitting aroung doing nothing :-)

Ditto. KUTGW! (Keep Up The Good Work, for those dutch readers that may
be confused by the KUT which in dutch means a female body part and often
used as a expletive, as in "Windhoos is een kut systeem" :-)

Again, ditto. I'm a bit tied up at this point with RL work, but should
have some extra time free next week (thu, fri) if some heavy compiling
sessions is called for.
When you have a solution, could you arrange for a.d.nl and faure (and
what's the other one, albert?) to be "ready" ASAP? That'll help as well.
