  • change the description in dists/xxx/Release
  • check the volume labels on ISO's for all architectures (cdimage/debian-cd/CONF.sh, OFFICIAL variable)
  • check the lsb-release output for accuracy
  • check /etc/debian_version, /etc/issue, and /etc/issue.net for accuracy

    • verify torrents are working
