Please read the section 2 (and specifically section 2.3) of the "Debian Installer internals" paper [1] written by Frans Pop for DebConf6. [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/talks/debconf6/paper/index.html#id2535182 Please understand that maintaining an udeb adds a more responsabilities for your maintainer's work and has a few drawbacks for your package life. The daily builds of the Debian Installer are done using the udebs that are currently in unstable. If your package produce a buggy udeb, all daily builds for every architectures which need it will be broken. So please double-check that your udeb has correct dependencies and thet the -dev package has a correct shlibs file. Also, the beta releases of the Debian Installer are using the udeb presents in testing. This means that the migration of your package to testing will then also depend on what is currently happening on the d-i front, as we try as much as possible to prevent the breakage of fully network based installations. Hope that helps. Cheers, -- Jérémy Bobbio .''`. [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
