[ Ben Hutchings ]
* In the boot prompt for powerpc, make install64 more prominent.
  Closes: #614583

[ Steve McIntyre ]
* Merge update-cd changes back from the squeeze branch:
  + Remove the old non-US stuff from it, it's not been needed in years.
  + Cope with .bz2 source files too.
  + Merged and simplified the old functionality from scansources.old
    and scanpackages.old into the new script create_control.
  + Run the mkisofs step *outside* of "set -e" so that we can actually
    report errors instead of silently failing.
  + Split out the code for starting a new disc into a function.
  + Pick up on a potential bug: if we finish the last (expected) disc with
    a backed-out file, make sure we create another image to include that
    file too.
* Update make_disc_trees.pl and which_deb to cope with different
  types of source file, and clean up the code in that area.
* tools/make_image: generate list files while we have the CD trees
  available
* update the URL for downloading s390 d-i dailies.
* Add linux-image-2.6-686-bigmem to tasks/<release>/interesting-fromcd23
  to try and put that on i386 image sets before linux-image-amd64.
  Closes: #622622
* update the URL for downloading i386 d-i dailies.
* update the URL for downloading armel d-i dailies.
* tools/grab_md5:
  + Improve Packages and Sources file parsing;
  + Cope with differently-formed files that are still valid
    (don't assume field ordering).
  + Switch from awk to perl makes things much faster too!
  + Make arch handling more generic - instead of having to list all
    arches, allow a wildcard and then check for lack of Packages.gz files
* tools/make-firmware-image: Rather than use the firmware task which
  gets out of date, look for firmware/microcode files directly in the
  Packages file. Check for things installing in /lib/firmware, and add
  those packages.
* Remove the checked-in firmware task altogether, as it's not
  useful. Generate it when needed using the new script
  tools/generate_firmware_task.
* Add apt-offline to tasks/wheezy/forcd1 to bring it onto CD#1.
  Closes: #630805
* Add links to snapshot.debian.org into jigdo files.

[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Add support for hurd-i386. Closes: #619211
