Meanwhile the entire time I always felt like I was being a jerk to the
devels by not offering a fix for the bugs I report...

Become a contributing SPI member?

I'm sure you can find a consultant in that list that would be happy to
oblige someone asking them to squish Debbugs for money.

That's the debian-news read-only-mailing list for those interested.
(If you don't read that, I strongly recommend hitting
http://debian.org/News/ regularly)

Though debian-devel-announce will keep you up to date on the important
points brought up.

It seems to come and go, from what I saw browding the archives.

That's what I thought, too. Hmm, I guess I'll ask on debian-boot
later how others are accomplishing use of the isos, since pcnet32
isn't one of the included modules...network support's important when
you're testing a net installer, after all.

One thing I'd just like to add right now, and I hope DWN picks this
one up, but if you're running testing or unstable, I'd say you're
morally obligated to contribute some manpower. At the very least,
submit solid bug reports and maintain the ones you submit (get more
info? Add it to the ticket. Bug solved? Close it if the devel
doesn't. That sort of thing).
