Severity set to `serious' from `important' I don't agree that this issue is RC. It does not match any of the criteria. 1) This issue does not actually break anything. It just makes it impossible to make use of an optional feature (software RAID) during installation. 2) The issue affects only a limited group of users as it is architecture specific: software RAID support in partman works just fine on at least i386, amd64, sparc and hppa. I'm not sure about other architectures, but at least we have no reports of breakage there. 3) There is no regression, or at least, I do not see how there can be as software RAID support and general partman code has not been touched at that level during Etch development. This rather looks like an incomplete implementation of software RAID support for this particular architecture. As such, and since there currently (unfortunately) is no lead partman maintainer, it is primarily the responsibility of the PowerPC community to provide the missing bits and pieces needed to implement the support. So, IMO as D-I RM, this issue does not make partman-md "unsuitable for release". Note for future reference: this BR is possibly related to: http://bugs.debian.org/392764
