It will break d-i installs of sid, until the point that there's a new kernel-latest available in unstable; and once it's uploaded to unstable, we have to be sure that we're ready to have 2.6.12 as the default kernel in testing, because it probably won't take long to propagate. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
