At least the following binary packages:

  arla-modules-2.0.36
  ftape-tools (?)
  ibcs-source-2.0
  ipautofw (?)
  ipfwadm (will this work with 2.4's compatibility mode? If so keep it)
  kernel-doc-2.0.36
  kernel-headers-2.0.36
  kernel-patch-2.0.36-m68k
  kernel-patch-2.0.37-raid
  kernel-source-2.0.36

This should definitely be discussed on debian-devel, though (cc'ed).
