Package: release-notes
Severity: important

The arm port will be dropped after lenny and the use of the new armel
port is recommended.  Please mention this in the release notes.  I've
included a suggested text below and CCed Riku so he can provide his
comments:

Debian lenny has two different and incompatible ARM ports: the old ABI
port (arm) and the new EABI port (armel).  Debian lenny is the last
release with support for the arm port and future releases will only
support the armel port.  It's therefore recommended to use armel for
new installations of lenny.

With the exception of Netwinder, installer images for supported ARM
machines are available for both arm and armel in lenny.  Netwinder
support is only available for arm and it will be dropped after lenny
along with the arm port.

Please visit the following page to learn more about the ARM EABI (armel)
port: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmEabiPort

Closing Lenny release-notes pending bugs, since the relevant patches have been
commited to SVN trunk and are published on line at
