Hi!
The debian-installer team would like to fix a few issues that are still
present in the Etch version of d-i.
Before starting the work on updating the packages, I would like to get
feedback from the stable release managers on those candidate patches:
* cdebconf: Fix off-by-one error reading from confmodule
Closes: #430108
Simple one liner fixing a few crashes of the installation process.
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47633.diff
* cdebconf: Fix a bunch of reference-counting bugs and other memory leaks
This one is much more invasive, but has been in the daily builds for
a while without arising any problems.
It will fixes a few installation crashing due to out cdebconf filling
the memory after displaying too many questions (e.g. complex
partioning setups).
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47682.diff
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47687.diff
* cdebconf: Fix another (large!) memory leak: parsed RFC822 stanzas were
never freed
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r47689.diff
* cdbebconf: Fix reference leak in question_get_text
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/cdebconf-etch-r2-r48821.diff
* debconf: Make sure that apt status commands and debconf protocol
commands under debconf-apt-progress are properly
interleaved. Closes: #425397
This one fixes a hang in the installer at the pkgsel/tasksel stage
that shows up pretty badly on multi-processor systems.
http://people.debian.org/~lunar/d-i-etch-r2/debconf-etch-r2-r2214.diff
* debootstrap: Fix bunzip2 path. Closes: #436218
This really simple patch will fix debootstrap to be able to use bzip2
compressed files from our mirrors.

Thanks for your reviews.
Cheers,
