Okay, so only one very-essential package needs to be updated for only one
architecture? Then I see two options:
1. The new package is installed in the archive ASAP. This is fine, since
we're waiting for the new boot-floppies anyway.
2. The new package is made available at some weblocation (FTP/HTTP), and
we'll either put a notice in some README on the CD or somewhere on
the cdimage website.
I prefer 1. It can't break more than what's already broken ;-)
And you can take this as "the official opinion" of the CD team.
