I expect(ed) so too, but I dont see how this matters. The only thing we test
(and support) are installations from our lenny(-test) images anyway, so why
care if unstable is broken?
And as lenny-test already has the new debian-edu package that shouldnt be
broken.
Please also note that I followed the "release early, release often" mantra and
feel free to do new uploads to fix stuff ;-)

You mean the one from friday? /me suggests to file a bug for better tracking.

So this needs further testing? Should we remove that "does not properly yet"
from the changelog in svn already?

Thanks. Will try to do a test tomorrow.

Hmpf. d-i has the policy of not commiting untested changes, I think we should
at least use bugs to track such things. "hopefully, maybe, no idea if" in
changelogs doesnt really help much IMHO...
