kernel-image-2.0.38_2.0.38-0_i386.deb
and the corresponding pcmcia packages:
pcmcia-cs_3.0.5-10.slink.1_i386.deb
pcmcia-source_3.0.5-10.slink.1_i386.deb
pcmcia-modules-2.0.38_3.0.5-10.slink.1_i386.deb
(it's been uploaded for stable, but is stuck in Incoming/, since there are
new binary packages)

updated packages from base: (to be found in dists/slink-proposed-updates/)
* libstdc++2.9
(AFAIK, that's it)
