33 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
34 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
36 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
37 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
38 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
39 text as "stable" is invalid.
40 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
41 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
42 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
43 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
44 * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
45 * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
46 might be the case when installing to a directory).
47 * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
48 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
49 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!
50 * Use ls for locating /dev/md* devices instead of echo so we don't
51 have '/dev/md*' in the interactive partition dialog.
52 * Do not display mountpoint if we are using the default one.
53 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
55 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
57 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).

71 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
72 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
73 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
74 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
76 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID

78 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
79 display for checking configuration again.
80 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
81 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
83 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
84 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
85 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
86 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
89 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).
