It's about time that the bugs that need to be fixed for sparc d-i to work to be upgraded to release-critical. The beta-2 crunch seems to have calmed down, and I'm aproaching being able to build a working d-i cd with local fixes and hacks around these bugs.
The first six bugs in the list below are the ones I am talking about. All have patches in the BTS and have been sitting unfixed for a couple of weeks. Unless someone convinces me otherwise, I'll upgrade them to grave in two days. Additional fixes are needed for d-i and debian-cd, but I'm not quite ready to submit patches on them yet.
