I'm strongly against these changes in debian infrastructure. Upstream will face the same problem once they import new ipxe, and will have to deal with this somehow as well. If we will follow this change, we will both stay compatible with upstream and ourselves. But adding this incompatibility to debian/ubuntu and dealing with it inside debian/ubuntu makes us incompatible with both upstream (and the world) and partially ourselves.. Especially if upstream choses to do it the other way, we'll either have to support our solution (TOGETHER with upstream solution) for some singnificant amount of time, or we'll become incompatible with ourselves again. Hmm... /mjt
