[ Of most significance of course, (imho) would be lilo ]

These i386 packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
[...]
lilo - LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others
lilo-doc - LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others [d
lilo-doc 21-14 -> 21.3-3 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/doc
lilo 21-14 -> 21.3-3 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/base
lilo (1:21.3-3) unstable; urgency=HIGH
* This version supports booting from cylinders above 1024.
(Been in unstable for 3 weeks, and I got 0 complaints about it, so
I think it's definatly worth to include it in potato).
bonnie++ - This is Russell Coker's hard drive bottleneck testing program,
bonnie++ 0.99e -> 1.00 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/utils
bonnie++ (1.00) unstable; urgency=low
* License is now GPL.
* Now include ZCAV in the same package. ZCAV package should disappear.
* ZCAV reads through a hard drive sequentially and reports the IO speeds for
different zones of the drive.
* Fixed a few minor issues with the documentation, and put the test programs
in /usr/sbin as they aren't generally run by regular users. Also use man
section 8.
bonnie - File System Performance Benchmark
bonnie 1-3 -> 2.0.6-big-1 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/utils
bonnie (2.0.6-big-1) unstable; urgency=low
* new upstream version
* updated manual page
* updated to standards 3.1.1
sympa - Modern mailing-list manager
sympa 2.4-1 -> 2.6.1-1 into dists/potato/main/binary-i386/mail
sympa 2.5.2-1 -> 2.6.1-1 into dists/woody/main/binary-i386/mail
sympa (2.6.1-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream version. It must go to frozen since it fixes
a problem where sympa dies each time it gets a review command
from one of the subscribers. It has been reported on the sympa lists
but not (yet) on the Debian BTS. Also fixes a reported RCB.
Closes: #62064, #62056
* Automatically create the /etc/sympa/cookie file.
* The configuration file should be updated again. The cookie keyword
should be set.
* Put plain text approval commands too. Closes: #61812
