After acks from Otavio, Joey and Max I have committed my changes.

This means that now porters can start checking for changes in modules. As I 
said in the last mail, I'm going to leave that to others.
It would be good if i386/amd64 got done first and soon as they provide 
the "base" for kernel-wedge, but that is no hard requirement.

Note that kernel-wedge from SVN is required to do builds for .25.

A good command to do test builds is:
   ./massbuild kbuild -k 
The -k means that the needed kernel images are only downloaded once and get 
reused. With massbuild there is no need to have the kernels installed.

If 25-4 is not yet available for your arch, you can change the version in 
the massbuild.versions file to -3.

Please do not upload .25 kernel udebs yet!

Cheers,
FJP

P.S. I have kept one change back: the addition of isofs-modules to hd-media.
Reason is that there is still a (small) chance of an extra upload for Beta2 
and this is a post-beta2 change. I'll commit that once Beta2 is final.

Now seems like a good time to remind you that I would like to add
-686-bigmem kernel udebs to the mix to support running D-I under PAE
Xen.

First I'd like to thank you by doing it. It is indeed a big change.

All changes looks ok and well designed. No need for patch review I
think.

Please go ahead and commit them if noone objects (specially porters).

Damn. Knew I was missing something. There was another dropped module.
