Well, I hope you get this via the list, Dirk.
Please fix your mailer, it's not placing

If you use the version of "dpkg" from the "unstable" directory, you can
use the --get-selections and --set-selections flag to make all systems use
the same package selections. This is not in the "stable" version yet.

This is probably going to confuse "dpkg". I don't have a good solution
for this. We don't really support the "push" install yet.
