571 The "thanks to gebi for the bugreports and feedback" release. :)
572 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
574 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
575 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
576 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
577 text as "stable" is invalid.
578 * Use 'pri=0' as example for swap partition in /etc/fstab.
579 * Do not adjust mydestination and myhostname in /etc/postfix/main.cf as
580 mydestination defaults to "$myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost",
581 myhostname defaults to gethostname() and mydomain to localdomain.
582 * Slightly improve wording of -t and -p options.
583 * Do not try to create /etc/debootstrap if it already exists (which
584 might be the case when installing to a directory).
585 * Mention hostname in configuration check dialog.
586 * Apply patch by Zoran Dzelajlija which addresses the partition
587 calculation problem when installing to /dev/cciss/c0d0*. Thanks!
588 * Use ls for locating /dev/md* devices instead of echo so we don't
589 have '/dev/md*' in the interactive partition dialog.
590 * Do not display mountpoint if we are using the default one.
591 * Avoid duplicate 'Running ... on a directory, nothing to mount.'
593 * Do not continue execution if provided mirror doesn't work.
595 * Bump Standard Version to 3.8.2 (no further changes).

609 - support setting Debian suite components (like main, contrib,...)
610 through COMPONENTS so it's possible to use a simple 'main' mirror.
611 - support setting aptitude/apt-get options through $DPKG_OPTIONS.
612 - support selection of netinstall vs. local mirror in interactive menu
614 - make sure to ignore /dev/md* devices if not using SW-RAID
615 - do not fail in chrootmirror() when using $ISO variable.
616 - change order of checkconfiguration() so we get the prompt/
617 display for checking configuration again.
618 - Drop 'do not prompt for partition dialog if swraid has been
619 configured already' which doesn't make any sense in most situations
621 - check for mounted target in mkfs() step already instead of mount_target()
622 - use '.. to the debootstrap command' in description of --debopt
623 - chroot-script: put installation of kernel before installing additional
624 packages so installation of kernel doesn't fail if the kernel directory
