some remarks:
- fai-nfsroot: your fai-nfsroot package is as dangerous as mine; installing
  this to a working system will make it unbootable (due to the diversion of 
  start-stop-daemon). there should be some sanity check to prevent this:
  debconf could help, though hacky:
  
  * qustion "do you want to destroy your system?", default no, priority low
  
  * do the diversions only if the answer is 'yes'
  
  * let make-fai-nfsroot communicate with the package vie debconf-preseeding


- fai-client vs. fai-server: /etc/fai/fai.conf should go into fai-client;
  it's needed by softupdates


- migration path from the old 'fai' package?


- what do the ftp-masters think about a bunch of really small packages?
