I assume the big benefit of using this is that it has CDROM support,
making dpkg-multicd irrelevant?

Should this information be included at
<URL:http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/> somewhere?  Should we try
to get m68k, alpha, and sparc ports of this?

I'd almost suggest just uploading it to stable (proposed-updates),
even perhaps with the understanding that it won't be moved into stable
(no huge huge need).
