I believe that we are just a few days from Lenny release, so uploading
a new kernel and rebuilding debian-installer might not be an option
at this point, unfortunately. The best we can probably do is include
the fixed kernel in the point release, but that's up to kernel team
to decide.
Thanks for pointing it out, David.
