Well, I found it useful. I'm a sysadmin with lots of machines that have
NICs that are not supported by the woody install disks. I have an interest
in getting a 2.4-based debian install CD working as soon as possible. The
whole "you should have a local debian archive and update that" idea
requires that anyone who wants to contribute knows the whole debian
toolchain, or at least how to produce a Packages.gz file automatically
that works.
Now I can try fixing bugs or weirdnesses that affect me, and post patches
with bug reports.
It also pointed out that cdebconf should build-depend: on libgtk2.0-dev
and intltool-debian.
