I just committed the fix for README.Debian to the git repo.

Holger: If I can't reproduce your other bug (#465273), I will make a new
release soon.

I'll do a backport for backports.org soon, so that all etch users can use
readahead-list.

No work has gone into readahead. readahead will be replaced by prefetch,
another alternative consisting of kernel patches and user-space

PS, Petter: If it's no problem for you, I will add DM-Upload-Allowed to the
next upload, so I can upload new versions without sponsoring.
