Current Issues
The ps2 external mouse input is broken. (Could be bug #38031?)
Dapper Beta 2 live installer: It's all kinda working, but there is something fishy about the DRI (bugs 23015, 41340) and hibernation (bugs 36944, 43007 , 35410).
Gutsy: Must specify Option "BusType" "PCI" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to avoid DRI hangs after hibernation.

Notes
Breezy Badger install went perfectly. *1 Screen goes blank, but the backlight is not turned off. *2 Screen goes black and is password locked. *3 Tested with D-Link DWL-122 Wireless USB adapter. *3b Tested with a D-Link DWL-G650 PCMCIA wireless card. *4 Tested with the proprietary Connexant hsfmodem drivers. *5 DMA is not enabled by default, but can safely be. *6 The user is asked during installation to choose modes, but the proposed modes will work. *7 Sleep button works, but resume crashes. *8 Works after adding synaptics section to xorg.conf
Updates
Sleep and hibernation worked with Colony-5 (clean install). After apt-get update on 2005-10-01, sleep and hibernate were broken 
Still broken in Breezy RC and Final.
These regressions in Flight-6 have been fixed in Dapper Beta 2 live installer:
text consoles stay black after resume #38500
- installer asks for screen resolutions
floppy module not loaded (not laptop specific, bug #32599)
keyboard layout becomes wrong if chosen in boot menu F3 (not laptop specific, bug #31661)
