Yes, i see. I suppose it is lot of effort to backport everything to stable? It 
would be very interesting if we could share the effort on the 
(security-supported, more on that later) desktop and possibly kalyxo-stable 
branch of debian.

Oh, very good :). It'd be very cool if you could point us at the scripts so we 
can take a look. We were thinking about using the debian-cd script-set, but 
if yours is superior, we'll stick to yours (or is it based on debian-cd?). 
More details would be appreciated. As for the installer, very well, i'm happy 
to hear that. We are very interested in using it for kalyxo CD's as well. If 
everything goes well, it could be that kalyxo and tuxum are in fact just 
rebrandings and few tweaks to the common base :).

We are currently working on a release plan, i'll make it public real soon now, 
and will announce on the list. Hold on.
