Or binary-i586, but the real problem is that debian can't be optimized for
every system without making a lot of trouble for the maintainers, mirror
operators, cd makers, etc. Maybe after the diety project has got a
finished product, we can add a feature for easily recompiling the source.
If we decide to follow the second distribution as a short term solution,
we need to look into mirror space and maintainer acceptance (not to
mention a check that no maintainers are using 486's).
So many things to do, so few developers to do them.
