No: base-installer is a separate source package and thus has its own build 
deps. I just forgot to include a step to install those (but luckily DDs 
are smart enough to figure such minor omissions out by themselves ;-)

Added now for future builds. Please 'svn up'.

Correct. The installer still uses 2.6.30 and the bug is related to the 
kernel version that's running when silo is installed. It'll get solved 
when we switch to 2.6.32, which should happen soon after the (delayed) D-I 
alpha1 release gets out.
