I notice kernel updates are missing from this list. We are still sitting
on the ABI-changing netfilter frag leak fix; there are also numerous
other security fixes that the kernel needs. I've spoken to joeyh about
this, and he's fine with the kernel package name change. So, our plan is
to upload to stable-proposed-updates, and the d-i folks will update
sarge's d-i for the new kernels. Martin, do you have any problems
with this?
