Package: live-boot
Version: 1:20160511
Severity: normal
If a preferred medium (device or medium type) is given with the
live-media parameter then waiting for the timeout to expire before
scanning for these devices is not necessary. Just pick the device as soon
as it appears. If a criterion would match several devices the outcome is
undefined anyway. So choosing the first one is good enough.
The attached patch fixes this issue.
