upgading sparc d-i bugs to release-critical
It's about time that the bugs that need to be fixed for sparc d-i to
work to be upgraded to release-critical. The beta-2 crunch seems to
have calmed down, and I'm aproaching being able to build a working d-i
cd with local fixes and hacks around these bugs.
The first six bugs in the list below are the ones I am talking about.
All have patches in the BTS and have been sitting unfixed for a couple
of weeks. Unless someone convinces me otherwise, I'll upgrade them to
grave in two days.
Additional fixes are needed for d-i and debian-cd, but I'm not quite
ready to submit patches on them yet. (One change I'll discuss in
another message.)
