I have a few other items for your TODO list :

  - move base-install currently in sid to sarge to pull in the nicer mkvmlinuz
    fix enabling for proper support of powerpc non-yaboot chrp/prep 2.6 kernels.

  - move nobootloader currently in sid to sarge. This has specialized pegasos
    information, but also mentions the partition the kernel is on in the
    dialog, this is particularly usefull in case that /boot is a separate
    partition.

  - upgrade to the upcoming 2.6.8 kernels if they are released in time, and in
    any case move the 2.6.7-5 powerpc kernel .udebs to sarge, instead of the
    2.6.7-3 which suffer from the G4 errata bug.

  - update the discover1 .udebs, but i guess this isn't worth mentioning.
