Package: syslinux
Version: 2:3.85+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Manpage of syslinux states that:
$ man syslinux | grep -B1 'linux auto' | cut -c15-
If no configuration file is present, or no "default" entry is
present in the configuration file, the default is "linux auto".
Meanwhile syslinux 3.85 introduced following change:
$ zgrep -A5 'linux auto' /usr/share/doc/syslinux/changelog.gz | cut -c4-
We no longer have a built-in default of "linux auto".
Instead, if no DEFAULT or UI statement is found, or the
configuration file is missing entirely, we drop to the boot:
prompt with an error message (if NOESCAPE is set, we stop
with a "boot failed" message; this is also the case for
PXELINUX if the configuration file is not found.)
I think this warrants a separate NEWS entry since it can break some setups.
