This was not my intention, altough a little chat with Branden on irc made me doubt it. Anyway, i am preparing 2.4.26 packages right now, as there seems to be a urgent need of it :/ I am somehow doubtfull about the wisdom of continuing following the 2.4 -benh tree, as not much effort goes into it, and benh main interest is with 2.6. > worth noting that no release candidate version of d-i has yet had > working support for 2.6 on powerpc (test candidate 1 would have done but > ran into a busybox-cvs bug, so it's likely that neither TC2 nor RC1 will > have either), although daily builds have had it for some time and in my > experience work well.
