• Debian Installer Buster Alpha 3 release
  
  The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the third alpha
  release of the installer for Debian 10 "Buster".
  
  
  Improvements in this release
  ============================
  
  * apt-setup:
  - If installing from a single-desktop single CD image, comment it out
  from sources.list after installation like we do with the netinst
  images, along with an explanation in comment as well.
  * cryptsetup:
  - Upgrade to upstream version 2.0.0.
  * debian-installer:
  - Bump Linux kernel ABI from 4.13.0-1 to 4.16.0-2.
  - Replace c_rehash with openssl rehash 895074. That should only
  affect builds with SSL_CERTS enabled; regular HTTPS support
  comes from ca-certificates anyway.
  - Ensure stricter separation from host's apt configuration by
  setting APT_CONFIG during the build process.
  - Tweak Acquire::Languages, Apt::Architecture, Apt::Architectures
  and disable both apt.conf.d and preferences.d snippets.
  - Drop libnewt0.52 from Build-Depends, the library now provides
  an udeb.
  - Run fc-cache when /etc/fonts or /usr/share/fonts exist (for gtk
  targets), to avoid having to generate UUIDs at runtime, which
  can be hard because of missing entropy 898468.
  * debian-installer-utils:
  - Fix "list-devices partition" to also report LVM logical volumes
  868848.
  * debootstrap:
  - Add support for bookworm.
  - Add Acquire-By-Hash support.
  - Too many other improvements to list them all here.
  * espeakup:
  - Fix path to voice definitions, which fixes language auto-switch
  in the installer.
  - Configure debconf frontend to readline on the installed system
  for better accessibility.
  - Improve console/X11 VT switches.
  * flash-kernel:
  - Fix issues in handle_dtb 870430.
  - Add option to allow "any" in Kernel-Flavors 883547.
  - Warn when ubootenv.d snippet will be ignored 884376.
  - Adjust sunxi boot script to prefer prefix variable if defined.
  - Add support for relative paths for DTB-Id 860304.
  - Add compatibility symlink to dtb in vendor sub-directory.
  - Add support for root device specified by PARTLABEL.
  - Provide hook to start EFI application 873390.
  - Fix when no Kernel-Flavors are defined 887803.
  - Add support for Boot-Kernel-Path-Version,
  Boot-Initrd-Path-Version, and Boot-DTB-Path-Version
  * iso-scan:
  - Detect LVM logical volumes so that they can be used to find the
  ISO image being looked for 868859.
  - Copy the ISO image into RAM before mounting it when debconf
  question iso-scan/copy_iso_to_ram is true. This makes it
  possible to use the disk that provided the ISO image for
  (automatic) partitioning 868900.
  * localechooser:
  - Use iso_3166-1.mo filename instead of the compatibility symlink
  889963.
  - languagelist: Enable Georgian and Lao in bterm.
  - Enable all languages when using speakup_soft, which supports any
  UTF-8 language.
  - Enable all languages when using speakup_dummy too, which can
  also support any UTF-8 language.
  * mdadm:
  - Use the same udev rules in the installer and in the installed
  system.
  * partman-lvm:
  - Make device_remove_lvm() detect errors, so as to stop early if
  anything goes wrong.
  * ppp:
  - Use /bin/ip instead of /sbin/ifconfig in the interfaces
  configuration for the installed system 889295.
  - Consider interface names using udev predictable interface
  naming 873391.
  * rescue:
  - Make sure to not provide duplicate entries in the list of
  possible devices for the root partition.
  * util-linux:
  - Ship fallocate in util-linux-udeb 882001.
  * wide-dhcpv6:
  - Build against static flex library to avoid a runtime dependency
  on libfl2 893988.

  Localization status
  ===================
  
  * 75 languages are supported in this release.
  * Full translation for 9 of them.
  
  
  Known bugs in this release
  ==========================
  
  * The installer will be using the Stretch theme until the artwork
  selection for Buster has happened.
  * The translation-status file wasn't updated for this release, so the
  language selection step might misrepresent the actual translation
  status for some languages.
  
  See the errata[2] for details and a full list of known issues.

Traut sich jemand an einen Wiki-Artikel für Buster heran?

Das wird noch nichts bringen. Wenn der Freeze vollzogen ist , dann könnte das aktuell werden.
