Point taken, I will wait a few days, as some bugs have started to get fixed
already and then I'll do as you suggested.
As for getting armhf considered for wheezy, well that can considered a given -
otherwise, why go to all this trouble :)
I haven't sent any email to the release team as I am following the Archive
Criteria [1] rules, some of them are already fulfilled, but some aren't (eg. 3
official porters, or fully working installer). Once all these were fulfilled,
I would send an email, officially asking for inclusion.
