Sounds like Christian is suggesting to first let current unstable version migrate to testing before new upload while Alastair is suggesting to first upload and then migrate to testing only when new version is old enough. From a d-i release viewpoint, I don't really care. As console-data stuff is always included in initrd, there's no chance of breaking beta1 and beta2 is still far enough away. There really is not much need to coordinate anyway unless there are changes that are expected to or could maybe break d-i (require modifications in kbd-chooser). I guess a new console-data in theory could also break 2nd stage for individual languages, but personally I'm a little less concerned about that. I would like to raise something else that's a leftover from Sarge... We currently have the following descriptions (IIRC these come from console-data): at - PC-style (AT or PS-2 connector keyboard) usb - USB keyboard These descriptions are very misleading: - with 2.6 kernels "at" is used for every architecture and for any type of keyboard - "usb" is not really correct as most USB-keyboards are "at" compatible; the correct identification would be USB-MAC or something like that. Also, IIRC some usb-mac keyboard layouts are really at layouts? My question is: is it worth fixing these issues, or should we wait for the new keyboard (?) package? Cheers, Frans
