console-setup has migrated a while ago, linux-2.6 had a new upload today
which will hopefully be able to make it to testing.

This is fixed (well, worked around, but that's good enough).

516028 and 527860 are closed, 524657 downgraded and tagged moreinfo.

2.8.0 seems better. #525231 is still open/RC, but with no info about
2.8.0 IIRC.

There's the libXi bugs (515734, 515905, 515976, 515946), which afaict
nobody has been able to investigate yet. Shouldn't be blockers though I
think.
Overall after linux-2.6 migrates I think we're good to go.
