Bug#505111: will suggest removal from testing
Well, it seems that other people haven't taken an interest in the bug, and we've now frozen, again. As there isn't a resolution in sight, I'll add a hint at the end of August for the removal of the package unless there's significant progress to fixing the issue.

Website updates for Lenny
Hi Debian boot! To try and get the website ready in time for release, it would be great if the boot section of the website could be updated. I can create the patches to the webwml if you need me to, but it would be really good if you could go over http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/debian-installer/ and tell me what's out of date, and what needs updating. I also need some text for the press release, have a look at http://www.debian.org/News/2007/20070408 Thanks!
