    switch back to GRUB Legacy for those who need it.
  * Remove spurious quoting in network-console documentation, pointed out by
    Jonathan Amery.
  * partman now asks a slightly different (and less scary) confirmation
    question if it doesn't appear that any data is being overwritten.
    Document the associated preseeding changes.

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Add missing hyphen in command "kbd-config". With thanks to Tapio Lehtonen.

  * Include a caution in the IA64 version of the manual against using IA64
    for "normal" 64-bit Intel systems.
  * Disable the variant for the alpha architecture: it is being dropped as a
    release architecture for Squeeze.
  * When updating PO files, set them to a standard width of 79 (same as used
    for l10n-sync for D-I master PO files).
  * Document that Debian now installs Recommends by default and how to disable
    that.
  * x86 USB boot: two improvements suggested by Timo Juhani Lindfors and one
    by Samuel Thibault. Closes: #532437, #532440, #548534.

    to www.kerneltraffic.org. Closes: #331523.
  * Document new help functionality.
  * Update for changes in locale selection in localechooser 2.17 and 2.18:
    - selecting a different country is now always possible at high priority;
    - change in order of selection of additional locales and default locale;
    - selection of a preferred locale if a combination of language and country
      was selected for which no locale exists;

    to the hostname; use 127.0.1.1, the same as the installer itself does.

  [ Frans Pop ]

    Vincent McIntyre. Closes: #511053.

    including a list of supported file systems.
