3 * Install busybox in kernel stage to be able to debug initramfs
4 problems (thanks, gebi).
5 * Check whether we are installing into a directory in stage mkfs
6 so we don't skip if the target is already mounted.
7 * Mention "default: lenny" instead of "default: stable" in help
8 text as "stable" is invalid. Thanks, gebi.

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

48 configured we don't want to re-run the SW-RAID setup

104 - modify hostname related options in /etc/postfix/main.cf
105 - listen on loopback interface by default (thanks for suggestion, gebi)
106 * Unify the --bootappend option, it's not --boot_append (thanks for

146 The "development sponsored by Sipwise GmbH" release.
