Welcome to this year's 7th issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
community.
Some of the topics covered in this issue:

 * Updates to the Lenny release process
 * Debian-installer to support loading of external firmwares
 * Best practice for debug packages
 * ... and much more.

Updates to the Lenny release process

Luk Claes sent a [1]release update regarding the upcoming stable
release Debian 5.0 "Lenny". An important part is, that starting with
next week, the transition of packages from the unstable to the testing
branch will be frozen to concentrate on: fixing the remaining bugs. He
further reports on the different release goals, which he sees in good
shape, but is a bit worried about the architecture qualification pages
on wiki.debian.org, which still miss a lot of information. Porters
should provide status information on these pages, so it's easier for
the release team to inform themselves about the status of different
hardware architectures.
