AFAIK is that the place where the d-i git repository has defined
which kernel version to use ...

You are doing development. That implies making manaully changes.

Yes, several things. Start with showing awareness that you are writing
to a mailinglist. That you are aware that the number of subscribers
is much larger as the number of people you want to invite at your
next party at home.
* Having Subject lines that match content of the email
* Start new thread for a new subject
* Place reply below previous text
In other words. Abandon the idea that a mailinglist is the same
as a group of friend who you will all see next saturday.
Stop with
* Top posting
* Abusing a thread for several topics
* Ignoring that people expect value in a Subject line
