There are currently 31 bugs marked lenny-ignore. As I understand things,
if option 1 makes it all those 31 need to be fixed before we can release
lenny.
Here is the list of bugs and the packages:

368559 | x11proto-gl
368564 | xorg-server

391935 | xen-3
424957 | portmap
445507 | mklibs
459705 | pike7.6
477060 | texlive-base
477751 | sgml-base
483217 | texlive-base
488895 | lucene2
