> Dedication
> ----------
>
> Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "Lenny" is dedicated to Thiemo Seufer, a Debian
> Developer who died on December 26th, 2008 in a tragic car accident.
> Thiemo was involved in Debian in many ways. He has maintained several
> packages and was the main supporter of the Debian port to the MIPS
> architectures. He was also a member of our kernel team, as well as a
> member of the Debian Installer team. His contributions reached far
> beyond the Debian project. He also worked on the MIPS port of the Linux
> kernel, the MIPS emulation of qemu, and far too many smaller projects to
> be named here.
>
> Thiemo's work, commitment, broad technical knowledge and ability to share
> this with others will be missed. Thiemo's contributions will not be
> forgotten. The high standards of his work make it hard to pick up.
