I've just uploaded a new version of dmidecode into unstable. It might affect debian-installer, so you might want to keep an eye on the issue. It changes the output format slightly. This is the reason I have waited until after Etch was released with the upload, and also the reason I warn about the new version. These are the release notes for version 2.9:
dmidecode: * Support of the SMBIOS 2.5 specification. It adds many enumerated values for recent hardware, as well as CPU core and thread count reporting. * Decoding of 3 HP-specific entries. More vendor-specific entries can be supported later if vendors contribute code or documentation. * Runtime detection of EFI, so that a single binary can support Intel-based Macintosh machines and regular x86 machines. * Better IA-64 support. * Fixes to the decoding of individual fields, including the CPU signature of recent CPU models. biosdecode: * Support of the FJKEYINF entry point type (for Fujitsu laptops). vpddecode: * The product name lookup table was dropped. It was unreliable and a burden to maintain. general: * biosdecode, ownership and vpddecode are no longer built on IA-64.
