I only have woody sources in my sources.list, with the exception of what
is mentioned in the ap-kernel-upgrade-howto.en.html.
zlib1g is depending on libc6, which is the constant I have faced form
the different options that I have explored.

The sarge installer (rc3) seems to have issues with unimplemented
assembler calls when the kernel boots. This prevents me form
selecting/installing certain kernel modules during the installation.
The 2.6 kernel images seem to panic before loading the installer (init).
