I've reviewed the -geode package in -proposed, and discussed this with Martin-Eric on IRC. Documenting the outcome of that discussion here.

There are two changes that should be made to the -geode SRU if possible:

- The changelog is incomplete, it doesn't document the fact that the previously-removed PCI ID is now re-added. This seems to be caused by an ambiguous comment from Martin. :)
- The description of the -amd transitional package now suggests that static xorg.conf should be updated before purging the package. In fact, a static xorg.conf will be broken as soon as the transitional package is /installed/. This should be clarified to reduce confusion.

We also discussed the -nsc package further, and I've agreed to accept a reduced SRU for 8.04.1 that *only* drops the geode PCI ID, a change which has been tested elsewhere and a case which is known to be broken today. The cyrix PCI IDs should not be changed this close to the point release.
