I've submitted what I hope will be the final debian-installer build to the autobuilders, but it seems that recent dependency breakage in newt will cause some of the builds to fail. I hope I can ask the autobuilders to retry, but this will likely delay things for a few days. At this point it's probably too late to get any changes into udebs in the initrds, and there are probably only a few days left to make changes to other udebs. Any changes will be synced to testing on a per-udeb basis again until we release, so you have to give me a very good reason to put in a change. In the meantime, the daily built images (but still the sid_d-i CDs, not sarge_d-i) are very close to what we will release, so please test them as much as you can, and update installer/doc/checklist. I'm mailing everyone in doc/testers.txt to try to get some broader testing. I still don't know if this release should be called beta5 or rc1, and I think the best way to decide is to see how well it gets tested and how many errata-level problems we find. There is also a DRAFT release announcement in installer/doc. Maybe I forgot some noteworthy features, please check. -- see shy jo
