* Don't offer yaird for S/390 as it does not configure the dasds.
* Add kernel selection support for ppc64. Closes: #383135.
+ [ Otavio Salvador ]
+ * Add facility to use a specific script by preseeding
+ base-installer/script. That's a very interesting feature for Custom
+ Debian Distributions and derivatives.
+ * Add facility to include and exclude packages from base by preseeding
+ base-installer/includes and base-installer/excludes. The previous way
+ of doing that, using base_include and base_include CD files still
+ works and the packages are added to the preseeded ones.
