+ cjwatson: I'd like to get this into maverick if possible.  The new
+ features are ones you don't have to use if you don't want to (or if you
+ need to, you have no choice ...).  The changes don't affect the
+ installer or Wubi as far as I can see.  Unfortunately Debian unstable
+ hasn't upgraded yet so I can't simply merge, but I can do that myself if
+ need be.
