Right. It's a goal for most of them. Debian-BR-CDD is going to start
to upload their package in next weeks and we've done a nice bunch of
clean up to allow it to be more acceptable for Debian. We'll probably
don't meet this goal for lenny (to be a real CDD) release but we hope
to do so for lenny+1.

We're able to not change d-i anymore now. This is one of major steps
required. Next is to make GDM more customizable so we can avoid 'sed
hacks' on it ;-)
