At http://www.debian.org/releases/lenny/i386/release-notes/ I see Release Notes for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny), Intel x86 although throughout the release notes both "lenny" (&releasename;) and "Lenny" (&Releasename;) were used. In the trunk (squeeze) release notes I find: I. en/issues.dbk: - Due to an unfortunate interaction of a kernel fix with PCI Express : subsystem, Lenny default kernel will fail to boot on Sparc - workstations with PCI Express slots, like Ultra 25 and Ultra which is probably out of date; II. en/release-notes.dbk: - <firstname>Christian</firstname> - <surname>Perrier</surname> : <contrib>Lenny installation</contrib> (and similar), which do not form part of the output; III. &Nextreleasename; etc in some translations, which presumably have their own rules. Is there something left to fix? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
