Changelog

Changes not in Debian yet:

base-installer (1.94) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

[ Frans Pop ]
* Allow to select driver inclusion policy for initramfs-tools
Closes: #494466

[ Martin Michlmayr ]
* Use MODULES=dep on arm and armel.

[ Jérémy Bobbio ]
* i386: Use -486 flavour for all CentaurHauls processors. As they lack long
NOP instructions, -686 kernels since 2.6.22+ fail to boot on these
processors even if they claim 686 compatibility. Closes: #492751
