Package: busybox-udeb
Version: 1:1.17.1-8

The Debian/Squeeze installer fail with /32 netmasks provided from DHCP.
>From <URL: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4604 >:

  debian stable busybox udhcp client does not support /32
  netmasks. Changing the netmask to <32 works.

  Debian boots with busybox udhcp and the DHCP configuration fails.
  Once Debian is booted and running with the isc dhclient, the
  configuration works ok.

I am told this bug make it impossible or very hard to install
Debian/Squeeze in some cloud environments.

Happy hacking
