It's odd that you say this when you have just finished tracking down
#327891, which is a perfect example of the kind of issue that can be
introduced for an architecture in d-i when upgrading its kernel, and
which needs a maintainer to deal with.

No, abi changes are trivial except for coordinating the changes in the
other parts of d-i. The only hard part is tracking new modules that need
to be added and dealing with changes in intermodule dependencies.

Incorrect.

Anyway, given the rest of your mail, this conversation is useless.
Thread-kill here.
