If sarge will have 2.6.10, then I won't bother.
The plan is to release d-i RC3 with a 2.6.8 kernel. There are currently no plans for a further d-i release for sarge after RC3. This means that at least the xfs and reiserfs corruption problems should be addressed in d-i RC3, IMHO -- if nothing else, by removing them as options from the installer. This is far inferior to actually fixing the filesystem issues, of course, but that fix is intrusive and is unlikely to be backported to 2.6.8 in the requisite timeframe. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
