from a quick glance at these, there is nothing I could see directly that
seems inappropriate. What I would however like is that all
security-releated issues are noted with their cve id.

So, please go on with this, and as soon as you are ready, we can upload.
However, there is one (minor) issue: I want that the version string
shows up the word "volatile" so that we cannot get into a version clash
with the standard archive, so please change also that at some
appropriate time. :)

Also, I would like to have kernel images for as many architectures
included as possible, but I'm not going to wait indefinitly for all
archs to catch up.


Thanks for your work.
