Dear Maintainer,
     Currently no loong64 binary output for flash-kernel in Loongarch env.
The buildd link is following:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=flash-kernel=sid

I have verified and compiled pass by adding loong64 to debian/control 
file in my local env.

Attach the control patch.
Please add support for it. Thanks!
Any question, contact me!

Bug#1059957: debian-installer: please make the netboot fw.img.gz files reproducible

[James Addison]

Source: debian-installer
Version: 20230607+deb12u4
Severity: wishlist
User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Dear Maintainer / Hi Cyril,

I'm an occasional contributor to the Reproducible Builds[0] project, and
recently noticed that the debian-installer package failed some automated
reproducible build tests[1].


Analysis:

In particular, the checksums (MD5SUMS and SHA256SUMS) for some of the firmware
files provided for netboot and suffixed .img.gz are varying between builds.

Reading the diffoscope output (which performs a diff within the decompressed
contents) shows that the .img files tend to have eight bytes of randomized
content shortly after hex address 01b0 in each file.

I'm reasonably confident that the eight-byte groups are FAT serial numbers (aka
volume IDs), which mkfs.msdos (as used in the gen-hd-image[2][3]) will choose
unless it is configured not to.


Suggestions:

Good news: there's a canonical fixed FAT32 volume-id already in use[4], with
the value 'deb1' (eight bytes hex) that we can reuse.

So, adding '--invariant -i 0xDEB1' or similar to the commandline for the
mkfs.msdos calls should resolve the problem.


Existing work:

Please note that Alper (cc'd) has an existing merge request that addresses this
and a few other reproducibility-related items:

Regards,
James

Version: 1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u1~bpo11+1
Distribution: bullseye-backports
Urgency: medium
Maintainer: Debian Install System Team 
Changed-By: Luca Boccassi 
Closes: 983197 983311 1031828 1049898
Changes:
 debootstrap (1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u1~bpo11+1) bullseye-backports; urgency=medium
 .
   * Rebuild for bullseye-backports.
 .
 debootstrap (1.0.128+nmu2+deb12u1) bookworm; urgency=medium
 .
   * Non-maintainer upload targeting Debian 12.2, with maintainer approval
 from Luca Boccassi.
   * Backport merged-/usr support changes from trixie:
 - Implement merged-/usr by post-merging.
   This changes the bootstrap order so that it will be possible for a
   future version of base-files in trixie/sid to take responsibility for
   creating the /bin, /sbin, /lib* symlinks, and is a prerequisite for
   lifting the moratorium imposed by #1035831.
   (Closes: #1049898; implementation by Helmut Grohne)
 - functions: Reinstate setup_merged_usr() as it existed before
   fixing #1049898, for backwards-compatibility with older versions of
   mmdebstrap.
 - functions: Default to merged-/usr for suites newer than bookworm,
   even for the buildd profile. This allows packages targeting trixie
   to assume that merged-/usr is the only layout possible, and is a
   prerequisite for lifting the moratorium imposed by #1035831.
 - Mention --merged-usr in --help output. (Closes: #1031828)
   * Backport autopkgtest regression fixes from trixie:
 - Revert fake/schroot-1.6.10-3 to an accurate emulation of the
   behaviour of schroot 1.6.10-3 (Closes: #983311)
 - Document schroot 1.6.10-3 with the default profile as expected to
   fail to use /dev/pts in a lxc >= 3 or Docker container; this is a
   schroot bug (#983423) and not a debootstrap bug
 - With these changes, the autopkgtest is confirmed to pass in
   autopkgtest-virt-qemu (Closes: #983197)
