I'd *love* to have a test of tomorrow's CD image build (or whenever it
is that gets libdebian-installer4-udeb 0.25.really.0.22), to make sure
it really doesn't require workarounds any more. I'll be testing it
myself I hope, but I'll be on my way to Brazil by tomorrow evening so
may not be exactly responsive for a bit. If we can get confirmation that
new partman-newworld and yaboot-installer do their jobs when the rest of
the installer isn't breaking under their feet, we can get them moved
into testing.

Although it isn't directly relevant to d-i, some post-installation
testing would also be good: making sure tasks work reasonably, and the
like. We've been pretty light on such testing for powerpc.

Thanks!
