Bug#524233: console-setup should conflict with console-data

I think there is yet an other package that does the same thing, but I'm not sure about it's name. I didn't close this bug because I was considering to add a Debconf question asking which package should configure the console (similar to that the user gets with more than one display manager - xdm, wdm, kdm, gdm). But after a second thought I doubt this is worth the effort - console-tools is almost unmaintained and there are still some things that console-setup doesn't do, such as the default state of NumLock, setterm. Moreover the scripts in console-tools and console-data are in bad shape and it will be difficult for their maintainers to do the required changes. So unless there are objections I'd like to close #524233 and #524239. Such choice ought to be documented in a README.Debian and maybe even in the description. The user should have a way to know what is more or less obsolete and what should be kept on his system to have proper console configuration support.

Bug#530616: debian-installer: netboot tarball needs a symlink to enable PXE booting from multiple installers.
Package: debian-installer Severity: normal The netboot.tar.gz tarball has symlinks at the top level from pxelinux.0 to debian-installer/$ARCH/pxelinux.0 and pxelinux.cfg to debian-installer/$ARCH/pxelinux.cfg This causes a problem is more than one arch netboot is installed, or if the Ubuntu netboot tarball is installed, since the symlinks trample on each other. The simplest way to avoid this when setting up a multi-arch/distro boot server is to ignore the top-level symlinks, and set the bootfile name in the DHCP/PXE config to include the directory, so instead of using a filename pxelinux.0, use the filename debian-installer/$ARCH/pxelinux.0 PXE ROMs are bright enough to spot and use the prefixed directory, so they continue to download files from there; pxelinux.cfg is found, no problem. The problem occurs with all of the boot screens, etc, whose paths inside pxelinux.cfg already include the debian-installer/$ARCH/ prefix. The PXE ROM adds the path again, and tries to tftp eg. debian-installer/$ARCH/debian-installer/$ARCH/boot-screens/splash.png The simplest way to fix this, is to add a symlink in the netboot tarball from debian-installer/$ARCH/debian-installer to ../../debian-installer. This is completely backwards compatible, it doesn't affect the majority who continue to rely on the top-level symlinks and a simple DHCP filenname config, but it does allow more complex configurations to work without manually making the link. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Netboot and firmware
Hello, I have just noticed Marco d'Itris note on http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware Do you think it would be a problem if di-netboot-assistant was concatenating all local firmware, to the init.rd files? Are we likely to hit some size limit? I'll probably add an option like FIRMWARE_IN_INITRD=(none|all|$firmwarename) (but I would rather default to all).
