Ah, OK...

Ish. It _used_ to list the Priority: optional packages that would not fit
on CD #1. Priority: extra packages also go on CD#2. But these days things
are done differently: optional packages that would be useful on CD #1 are
listed in "useful". Any remaining optional packages go on CD #2. (i.e.
slink2.optional shouldn't be around any more.) But this probably won't
work so well for potato, as it looks like we're going to need 3 binary
CDs.

Yup.

Wow!

Probably best. Now I'm back from Usenix and the major deadline headache at
work has passed I'll be able to dive in again shortly...
