ok, how about spliting the conffiles to two dirs, for woody/sarge, or with a suffix in the filename (eg. kde2.woody, kde3.sarge). > > * ispell needs to be updated to new versions which are (I think) > > debconf base > > Yes, some major rewrites have been done to the ispell config. > Perhaps ispell should be replaced by aspell, which I'm told is a > better spell checker? I'm all for aspell as it is better maintained upstream and has actuall support for non-latin languages (eg. greek) > Is the timezone really working as it should in d-i? Good. for me at least yes but the timezone setup is quite simple for Greece, with only one option, I don't know if it works as it should with more complex locale configs(eg. US, China, etc). > > Well, _need_ is a strange criteria to use.

Ok, basically i'm creating a list of configuration to be executed before installation of packages, and another one at the end of the installation. (in reality, there will be 2 such pairs, one for woody and one for sarge). Will keep you posted. Konstantinos
