  Improvements in this release
  ============================
  
  * base-installer:
  - Re-add the removed is_ports_architecture() function - it's used by
  other packages and library.sh looks like a fair central place for it
  to be 979193.
  * brltty:
  - Update udev rules.
  - Make sure the hardening flags are used in the udeb build.
  * choose-mirror:
  - Update Mirrors.masterlist.

  - Shorten "ppc64el" to "p64el" in the volume ID.
  - Include eatmydata deb for the installer to use offline 986772.
  * debian-installer:
  - Build in libinput instead of evdev driver for the graphical
  installer. This should improve support for touchpads in particular.
  - Bump Linux kernel ABI to 5.10.0-6.
  - Add wireless-regdb-udeb to all Linux arch images 979104.

  - Add libinih1-udeb for Debian Installer 981864.
  * libinput:
  - Drop libwacom support from the udeb.
  * libmd:
  - Add a udeb package needed by libbsd.

  * lowmem:
  - Delete graphical terminal related files when memory is low
  977490.

  substantially smaller.
  * netcfg:
