Control: affects -1 + src:u-boot-menu
Please unblock package u-boot-menu
Recent versions of u-boot (2023.04+ from debian experimental) fixed bugs
which reveal a misconfiguration in u-boot-menu's hard-coded default
value for the "prompt" setting that cause the menu to not be displayed.
[ Reason ]
Depending on the version of u-boot used, the menu that u-boot-menu
generates will not display a boot menu, proceeding with the default boot
option without opportunity to select a boot option. The main purpose of
u-boot-menu is to provide a menu, so this is suboptimal!
[ Impact ]
The changes implement the possibility to override the default behavior
by making a hard-coded value configurable.
[ Tests ]
I have tested that this works correctly with u-boot from experimental
(2023.04) on pinebook pro, with both the default behavior as well as the
modified configuration. The u-boot from bookworm (2023.01) on the
pinebook pro behavior is unchanged, regardless of the configuration
(e.g. it always displays a menu).
[ Risks ]
Risks are very low; the defaults behave identically to previous
versions. The changes are small and hopefully straightforward.
[ Checklist ]
[X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
It would be ideal to switch the default behavior, but given how late in
the bookworm release cycle and not many platforms have been tested to be
working correctly, it seems safer to keep the default behavior, and just
make it possible to configure if needed.

Thanks!
