The daily image doesn't start (at least on QNAP).  You only get the
cursor and the screen redraws, but you never see any blue window.  The
image from 2008-09-22 worked whereas that from 2008-09-24 (or later)
fails to start.  I reverted all changes to see which one broke the
installer and came up with a very surprising change that makes the
current image work again:

 Description: Debian installer main menu

i.e. replace libc6-udeb with libc6 for main-menu in /var/lib/dpkg/status
and the installer starts again.

Does anyone understand this?
