4 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
5 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
6 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
7 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
9 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
10 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
11 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
12 display for checking configuration again.
13 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
14 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
16 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
17 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
19 - bump Standard Version to 3.8.1 (no further changes).

25 * Do not use UUID on SW-RAID.
26 * Add /dev/md* to partition list. If /dev/md* is already
27 configured we don't want to re-run the SW-RAID setup
28 but instead just install on /dev/md*.

125 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.
