Could you write a verbose text, including all affected packages by name,
for the release-notes for sarge?  This problem may be worth to be included
in that document.

I don't know off-hand if that document already exists yet (maybe in the
d-i svn space) but it will probably be created at some stage, and this
may be worth to get added.
