I just spoke w/ Otavio, and it looks like we'll need to go ahead and
upload w/ what we have now in order to have a new kernel in 5.0.2 d-i
- and that is necessary to fix installation on some s390 machines.
We can continue working on the SCHED_IDLE issue, and (as Ben
suggested) provide an upload to proposed-updates for users to test/use
if the fix looks good.
