What about the following:

Adaptive electronic air suspension (sport and/or non sport) still optional on the A6

Adaptive electronic air suspension (sport only) finally optional on the S6

Choice of burl walnut wood or beige birch wood interior trim a no cost option or a low extra cost option on the A6

Several interior color options on the A6 inclduding amaretto

Hopefully, a choice of black or amaretto for the headliner fabric with amaretto interior on the A6

Seatback and underseat storage for all seat configurations including extraordinary S6 sport seats

Manual thigh support adjustment for driver's and front passenger's seats with A6 sport seats and S6 sport seats

Extraordinary Bang and Olufsen stereo system optional like A8/A8L/S8 and A5/S5/RS 5

Comfort seats optional on the A6

Massaging and ventilated seats optional on the A6 requiring comfort seats that are a considerable improvement over massaging and ventilated seats in pre 2008 A8/A8L in every conceiveable way

Non sport seats available as a no cost option on the A6 and possibly the S6

Northern blue pearl standard or sold only color at about $500 on A6 and S6

Do you mean "standard" or "available" s-line package.

The major change in Europe is the optional leather upholstery is now called 'Milano' leather rather than 'Volterra' leather. Price increase is in the order of tens of Euros.
The prices of the 2 S-Line packs (S-Line Plus & S-Line Exterior) have been reduced for the German market by nearly 1/3.
LKA system will be available at a later date.
No other changes has been noted from German car configurator.

Default S-Line exterior will be STANDARD on all A6s including Avant. (except sport suspension)

The S-Line interior treatment will still be optional, only with black interior.
Sport Suspension will have to be ordered if you want it, as it is no longer part of the S-Line package.
Adaptive Suspension is now available with the S-Line as the S-Line is now standard.
Of course you cannot order Sport Suspension with the Adaptive Air.
Milano leather replaces Volterra leather.

I have some stereo equipment from B&O that I purchased on clearance. From personal experience, I wouldn't call anything from B&O extraordinary except with respect to appearance.

Default Can the sport suspension be had without the S Line Interior Package?

And, can the sport suspension be had without the black interior?

I hope the new Milano leather is nearly as nice as, just as nice as or a little bit nicer the Valcona leather in the A8/A8L/S8.

Also, can the black headliner be had with the black interior if a person opts against the S Line Interior Package?

BTW, what changes are in store for the S6 for 2008?
