fai-nfsroot description states that: This package contains the software that is only needed in the FAI nfsroot. Do not install this package on a normal machine.
Does that means that it is pulled automatically when building the nfsroot or by the client? If not, should I intsall it explicitly on a fai-server? Is this package mentioned by some fai related script? As an aside, there were some discussions about a suitable organization of the debian archive in view of the number of packages. It looks to me natural to let each package span a directory. In that way all the fai-* packages could be summarised by a single description. Only interested people would then look at the detailed description of each of the fai-* packages. I believe there are many packages that has the structure of app_name-*.
