Sorry for having been this silent. In the past few days I've spent many hours
on getting debian-cd ready for 2.2 rev3 (issues you mentioned, updated/
redesigned README (matching www.d.o but actually better code) and the
long-promised "make-a-useful-CD1" project which involved lots of test runs and
a new unexclude feature). I'm mostly finished now, a few things still need
some tweaking, then I'll leave it to Phil to generate the new .iso's.
The unexclude will be used to move any number of kernel sources to CDx, x>=2;
the source of only 2.2.19 will be on CD1. However because we currently have
10 (!!) kernel sources in potato, it looks like we're going to have a 4th CD
with only 15MB on it. So, unless anyone objects, I think we'd better NOT
have the sources of 2.2.10 and possibly 2.2.12 on any CD (which still leaves
us 2.2.13, 2.2.15, 2.2.17, 2.2.18pre21, 2.2.18, 2.2.19pre17 and 2.2.19 -- and
2.0.36, 2.0.38 of course).
