Are you talking about just i386 or ia64, pcc, s390 too?

I think verification is a good idea and I'd be willing to do it if,

* the patches are acceptable for a stable point release
* you can provide a recipe for doing so. I assume this is just
   1.) install woody
   2.) apt-get upgrade from the above apt source
   3.) run the tests

Also I'd like to get unstable compliant as well. I think all patches
should be applied in unstable first before allowing them stable.

I think being ready for LinuxWorld would be really cool.
