ok so the current woody bootable cd setup is broken then. actually
potato's may be broken too since potato's yaboot is also in the pool.
here is the relevant brokeness:
# Extract yaboot from the archive
if [ -z "$YABOOT_DEBUG" ]; then
(ar p $MIRROR/dists/$CODENAME/main/binary-powerpc/base/yaboot_* data.tar.gz | \
tar zxf - -C powermac ./usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot)
mv powermac/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot powermac/yaboot
rm -rf powermac/usr
else
cp -f $YABOOT_DEBUG powermac/yaboot
fi
im not sure what the best way to do this with pools is, since the pool
contains at least two and up to 3 different versions of yaboot.

i think they both can be the same, if potato r4 CDs also have a pool
structure on them then we already have to fix the above. without the
yaboot binary the CDs are not bootable.
