I had 786432 for hda6 and 917504 for hda7. AFAIK, both of them worked
in the past. Now it is 524288.

Most probably, version 1:20040915.dfsg.1-2, if I trust the timestamps
for the .list files at /var/lib/dpkg/info, who show the last upgrades
were made on 2005-04-30 (for hda6) and 2005-04-15 (for hda7).
