541 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
542 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
543 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
544 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
546 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
547 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
548 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
549 display for checking configuration again.
550 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
551 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
553 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
554 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
555 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
556 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
559 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

598 The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.
600 * Improve look'n'feel of partition error dialog.

685 * Install devices using our own device tarball instead of running
686 MAKEDEV (which is just an ungly fork bomb).
