This has now been implemented and will make Etch. The implementation is slightly different from the original proposal. See this post for the details: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2007/01/msg00231.html The new functionality should be available in daily built images within the next few days. pgpD7SW48F51S.pgp Description: PGP signature
