I've reviewed the -geode package in -proposed, and discussed this with
Martin-Eric on IRC.  Documenting the outcome of that discussion here.

There are two changes that should be made to the -geode SRU if possible:

- The changelog is incomplete, it doesn't document the fact that the 
previously-removed PCI ID is now re-added.  This seems to be caused by an 
ambiguous comment from Martin. :)
- The description of the -amd transitional package now suggests that static 
xorg.conf should be updated before purging the package.  In fact, a static 
xorg.conf will be broken as soon as the transitional package is /installed/.  
This should be clarified to reduce confusion.

We also discussed the -nsc package further, and I've agreed to accept a
reduced SRU for 8.04.1 that *only* drops the geode PCI ID, a change
which has been tested elsewhere and a case which is known to be broken
today.  The cyrix PCI IDs should not be changed this close to the point
release.
