About my work, I didn't have the time nor motivation to integrate Joseph
Jezak work on sysfs enhanced ofpath. This needs some work, and as we had
no news from either the yaboot maintainer, the d-i team nor the
release-team (to know if this work is worth it if we can get it uploaded
for squeeze), I don't know if we'll ever see a new yaboot version in
Debian.
I think this patch is absolutely needed as yaboot is still broken on
SATA PowerPCs today.
