The main things that need work:
debian-installer
kernel
silo
Things that could use more attention:
gcc
binutils
Doing fairly frequent installer tests on a variety of hardware and
working with the d-i team to fix any problems is probably the easiest
and most useful. As you do that, you can help find and fix bugs in
the rest.
Currently, sparc isn't slated to release with etch, but that was due
to a hardware problem (since fixed) and a kernel bug.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
