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

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

68 The "hey, rocking - we get patches via git" release.

135 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.
