Comments/Problems:

- When using static network configuration one is not allowed to
   leave the gateway empty (though this is suggested). The error
   message says "malformed IP address".

- Tried using German as installation language, but some texts are
   too long and hide other dialog items (e.g. in setting debconf-
   priority the selection list is invisible).
   (might apply to d-i 20040314 only)

- The evms-udeb links /lib/libevms-2.3.so.0 to libevms.so instead
   of libevms-2.3.so.0.0. Furthermore libncurses(5?) is missing
   and the "EVMS module for debian-installer" does not work at all.
   Fixing the two library issues makes evmsn run (though it does not
   really work, due to lacking kernel support), the d-i module
   remains broken.
