Translation for the puzzled: 
        Debian potato 
        = Debian 2.2 
        = Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 
        = New release of Debian system 

There is a code freeze happening pretty soon, so if licenses for
software/documentation don't meet the requirements before the freeze,
they don't make it into the release, and therefore don't get burned onto
countless millions of CDs and distributed around the world.
