Well, in the mean-time, there's no way to test new d-i businesscard or  
netinst CDs beyond the disk partition step.  Or, to put it more  
bluntly: Testing grinds to a halt until this is fixed.

I haven't tried it on a DVD or CD install yet.  Is it worth-while to  
do that? or will that need the upgraded busybox as well?
