I should jump in here; as the author of slink_cd and (so far) the
maintainer of most of the slink CD images available for download, I've
been contacted by Infomagic a few times in the last couple of months.
They've been concerned by the bad press (echoed by people in this thread)
over their past attempts at Debian CDs. Rather than rush the job and get
things wrong, they want to package a known good set of CDs which should
happen soon.
The plan is for a complete 5 (maybe even 6) disc set of Debian only;
there's no need to pester them - they're on the job already.

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
