Release Notes: no (usable) aptitude on some arches in woody
As aptitude isn't available (mips/mipsel) or usable (hppa) in woody,
here a patch to reflect that. The patch probably needs big adjustments
when the preupgrade of aptitude is introduced as planned.
I also reflected the patch that you can't use woody's aptitude to
update the packages lists if you have changed the sources.list.
Gruesse,
