Improvements in this release

 * apt-setup:
    - Disable cdrom sources if installation medium is not a real CD (USB
      stick, SD card, ISO file), because APT cannot use it after the
      installation (#1102140, #1103650).
    - Allow preseeding extra options for the local sources.list lines.
 * busybox:
    - Remove wget applet (#1107392).
 * choose-mirror:
    - Update Mirrors.masterlist.
 * debian-cd:
    - Record which firmware packages are embedded in the modified initrds
      (#1106005).
    - Make sure systemd-cryptsetup is available (#1092977).
 * debian-installer:
    - Bump Linux kernel ABI to 6.12.33+deb13.
    - Fix Japanese rendering support, with many thanks to Kentaro HAYASHI:
      add fonts-motoya-l-cedar-udeb to gtk-common (#1037256).
    - Stop setting DPKG_UNPACK_OPTIONS =3D --force-overwrite (#1107392).
    - Improve support for speech synthesis, embedding some i915-related
      modules on amd64, for graphical targets.
 * grub-installer:
    - Set force-efi-extra-removable to "true" by default in some cases,
      which should help in cases where EFI firmware does not manage EFI
      boot variables properly.
 * partman-crypto:
    - Install systemd-cryptsetup alongside cryptsetup-initramfs. While
      the latter is sufficient if one picks guided partitioning with an
      encrypted LVM layout, other use cases might require the former,
      originally bundled together within systemd (#1092977).
 * rescue:
    - Add suport for rescuing btrfs systems installed via the Calamares
      installer found on Debian Live images.
 * rootskel-gtk:
    - Adapt installer banner image to the most recent iteration of the
      Ceratopsian theme.
    - Fix Japanese rendering support by switching from VL Gothic to
      MotoyaLCedar, also bumping font size (#1037256).
 * systemd-boot-installer:
    - Install shim-signed on amd64/arm64 to enable Secure Boot.

 * console-setup:
    - Add support for Apple MTP keyboard and Apple SPI Keyboard, as found
      on ARM-based Apple laptops like M1 MacBook Pro and M2 MacBook Air
      (#1108360).
 * linux:
    - [amd64] Add drivers/pinctrl/intel to kernel-image udeb (#1106658).
