* Add disk labels to non-i386 floppys.
* The busybox in the bootfloppy can be linked with uclibc and/or statically
to make it smaller. Only the linuxrc uses it, so it doesn't really
matter. This could save up to 200k on the boot floppy. But first someone
needs to add code to install uclibc or a uclibc udeb.
* The apt download fails if the dpkg status file of the build system is
in an inconsistent state. It could be overridden to use another status
file, but that file would have to claim that all dependancies of the
udebs it's downloading were met. Hmm.
* Change mklibs to not pull in libraries from the build system, and only
act on libraries in the tree; those libraries would then be provided by
udebs; this would be cleaner in several ways (and it's why eg anna
depends on libc-udeb already).
* Convert the driver floppies to use FAT filesystem, not ext2, on i386.
Makes it easier for third parties to throw additional udebs on.
* Cache the upxed kernel, to avoid re-upxing it over and over.
* Use udeb depenedency resolution more.
