I will apply your configuration to unstable now, but I think we need to review which drivers should be enabled. I realise you're trying to match the existing 'orion5x' but let's not compound the mistake. OK, no problem. Let's talk about that at some point soon. Or... is it just as simple as adding all the PCI-based options? If you still want this flavour to be added to stable as well then, as with any stable update, you need to open a bug report. Fine. Your descriptions weren't consistent. The flavour is 'mv78xx0' but you used 'DB-78x00-DP' (1 x) in the long description. Then the short description said 'Feroceon', but that's just the CPU core and it is also used in the kirkwood and orion5x flavours. So I changed those all to '78xx0'.
