So far, I tested it only with a squeeze installation and the
corresponding config space.  However, the changes in the config space
have been commited to debian-lan wheezy as well (just minor
modifications where needed, cf. [1']).

It would be great if you could test wheezy, please report back how it
works there.  The changes needed for a "softupdate compatible config
space" are mostly replacing actions only done if FAI_ACTION=install by
a test that checks if the action has been done before or not.

Best regards,
