Sounds good;  it feels like a good time for a new release.  (Perhaps
biased;  I'm keen for the kfreebsd d-i Beta 1 images to go away so that
people are only testing new ones. that work.)

We'd be ready for kfreebsd 10.1 to go into unstable, but won't do this
unless there's an ACK/NAK from release team in #760114, and also working
around the schedule of any upcoming d-i release.

If this did go ahead, only the version and ABI number need updating in
debian-installer;  I've been doing all of my d-i testing with kfreebsd
10.1 udebs and I think it is absolutely ready.  (Preferred, in fact,
because it fixes known issues like #755739).

I'd like to revert some of the problematic ZFS-on-Linux changes from
partman-zfs (a kfreebsd-specific udeb), to restore the original
behaviour we had in wheezy.  I'll try to get this done in plenty of time
for Beta 2.

Thanks :)  All patches for the kfreebsd d-i Beta 2 errata got uploaded.
 There is only the #757986 "inappropriate ioctl for device" prompt, that
we could try to fix before Beta 2 *if* there is time after the above.
