1708 * Convert snapshot setup to use debconf instead of hardcoded parameters
1709 * Remove obselete-before-being-used username template
1710 * Convert post.d/10adduser to use debconf passthrough to the passwd package,
1711 and thus share its user-adding code rather than duplicating it.
1712 - But don't enable it yet, since we need to find a way to prevent its
1713 questions from being asked

1747 * Add debconf templates for various things that we currently hardcode.
1748 Not actually used yet due to need for testing, but having the
1749 templates present greatly simplifies testing the remaining integration

1760 with noatime disappearing, and so should reduce snapshot utilization)

1804 * Attempt to configure X
1805 - This doesn't work very well yet (PCI BusID doesn't seem to get
1806 updated, for example), so we still don't start gdm by default)
1807 * Conditionalize some of the configuration code, so we automatically do
1808 the right thing if gdm or X isn't installed
1809 * Add German translation from Andreas Mueller
1810 * modprobe ext2, to let powerpc work (this should probably happen
1811 elsewhere, but for now...)

1833 /initrd and free up the memory used by d-i
1834 * Use /dev/ram1 rather than /dev/ram0 for the COW stuff, since /dev/ram0
1835 is used for initrds and we want to avoid confusion
1836 * Organize casper-udeb.postinst into shell functions
1837 * Add a progress bar
1838 * Add a debian/compat file (version 4)
