Hrm... guess these were my fault. Funny thing is, I had really tried
to test the installation of each of these packages. However, I know
that I tested "ipkg upgrade"s to the new packages rather than full
images. It's probably time to think about whether we could do some
automated testing. Something else that would help testing
considerably would be the ability to flash a jffs2 root image from
within a booted iPAQ. Isn't CRL working on exactly this functionality?
If so, how is that coming along?

Sounds great to me. I realized I was stupid and left "/etc/init.d/ssh
start" out of ssh/postinst. You might throw that in if its
convenient. Not a major holdup though.

I'm OK with this, (ie. I'm willing to handle the flood of bug reports
that will follow an official release... ;)
