Package: busybox-static Severity: wishlist Current busybox-static does not provide the diff command. Please consider enabling it. Doing so would make busybox sufficiently capable to run a configure script, which would help when bootstrapping a minimal environment. Thanks, Josh Triplett

Bug#621788: Please support encryption without separate /boot, with encryption support in current GRUB2

that at the moment such a setup requires entering the passphrase twice: once for GRUB and once for Linux. I've seen some discussion about passing the passphrase from GRUB to Linux, but such support doesn't exist yet.) Thanks, Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT

Bug#621791: Please support setting LUKS options for speed/brute-forcing tradeoff

this to take approximately one second on the current machine. However, LUKS supports configuring the desired number of milliseconds, to trade off between speed and protection from brute-forcing. Please support setting this option when creating an encrypted volume during installation. Thanks, Josh

Bug#408641: Please default to the one-and-only disk; already displayed for confirmation in the next question

to the disk. Thus, I think it seems entirely safe to default to the one-and-only disk if no other disk exists, given that the user will still get multiple chances to review and confirm their choice. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500

Bug#556882: console-setup: Loses do not change font configuration in the transition to keyboard-configuration

Package: console-setup Version: 1.47 Severity: normal I had console-setup configured to not change the console font. After upgrading to the new version that uses keyboard-configuration, that information somehow got lost, and my font now changes during the boot process. - Josh Triplett

Bug#538763: Description in netcfg/invalid_hostname does not match the code

somewhat ambiguous about uppercase characters. RFC 1123 says nothing about them, and RFC 952 says No distinction is made between upper and lower case.. I'd argue that the code should not permit uppercase, but if it does then the template needs to change accordingly.) - Josh Triplett -- System
