Adjustment_s_, plural. Confusing "to serious problems to a stable
release". Also, avoid repeating "problems", don't imply we're
shuffling bugs without fixing them, and turn it into "not only...
but also".
This update not only adds corrections for security problems and a few fixes
for
serious bugs to the stable release, but also adds support for newer hardware
by
giving users the option to install newer drivers.</p>

They aren't late, unless maybe you mean the latest...
(Contractions like "don't", "you'll" are fine by me.)

I don't understand what the "respectively" means here... I'll adopt
Chris's changes and add s/with/by/. There's still a slightly clunky
repetition of "regular".

"Usually"? Isn't it a one-off? Make it a recommendation.
"Point at", not "to".
<p>Upgrading to this revision online is most easily accomplished by pointing
the

Incorporating Chris Lamb's changes:
<p>The Debian-Installer was also updated due to changes regarding the creation
of SSL certificates used during installation via the network-console. Two
other

PowerPC64

And a big [...] - I'm assuming DSA rationales are "quotes", not to be

I'll incorporate those.

Er, operating system, singular, though I suppose there's an argument
for claiming plurality!

<p>The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its
stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename <codename>). This update
not only adds corrections for security problems and a few fixes for serious
bugs to the stable release, but also adds support for newer hardware by giving
users the option to install newer drivers.</p>
<p>Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of Debian
GNU/Linux 4.0, but only updates some of the packages included. Even if you need
new drivers during installation time there is no need to throw away 4.0 CDs or
DVDs. If you don't need newer drivers you'll only need to update against
a Debian mirror after installation in order to incorporate these changes.</p>
<p>Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have
to update many packages, and most updates from security.debian.org are
included in this update.</p>
<p>New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regular
installation media accompanied by the package archive will be available
soon at the regular locations.</p>
<p>Upgrading to this revision online is most easily accomplished by pointing the
aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) at

<h2>About <q>etch-and-a-half</q></h2>
<p>Additional packages have been added in the Debian 4.0r4 point release to
increase the set of hardware supported by Debian 4.0 (<q>etch</q>). This includes
packages based upon the Linux 2.6.24 kernel and additional drivers for the X
window system. Installation of these additional packages is not required and
will not occur by default. This update represents no change to the support of
previously available packages.</p>
<p>The existing 2.6.18-based kernel will continue to be the default kernel for
the etch release.</p>
<p>These package have been updated for <q>etch-and-a-half</q>:</p>

<h2>Debian-Installer Update</h2>
<p>The Debian-Installer was also updated due to changes regarding the creation
of SSL certificates used during installation via the network-console. Two other
issues regarding installation on existing RAID setups and recognizing PowerPC64
systems have also been fixed.</p>
<h2>Miscellaneous Bugfixes</h2>

to packages whose version was not synchronized across all architectures.
