This is no bug, this is a serious problem in the ressources needed to get the port working in a timely fashion for the etch release. Basically, there is no real maintainer anymore, and the d-i team doesn't care. > Whether it's well-supported depends on the willingness of people to > help support it.

Even so, i was willing to help, and discovered this not because they told it to me, but because i was blocked from helping. They had to do it meakly in my back. > I'm sorry, but I just don't think you're that essential. Well, i draw a few years of experience of powerpc porter for d-i behind me now, and given the abysmal situation of d-i contributors, who have melted since the sarge release like an iceberg in the carribean, that there is a serious problem here. I perfectly know what i had to do this past time, and that there is no real replacement with enough time. I was kicked out, and within the week the d-i powerpc isos broke and stayed broken until now.
