I would like to see the busybox package in the main debian archive.
Busxybox is a multicall binary that is targeted at embedded systems, it
is the basis of the debian installer.
Me too. I realy need it for my demofs and stealing it out of the

Maybe reserving disks-* for boot-floppies and creating a new install-* for
debian-installer would be a good thing? If not, just s/install-/disks-/g.
Calling them udebs might be helpful to avoid naming conflicts in the pool.

I really dont understand why our (the installer team) work has to get

Because the whole point of this argument is that

There already is, although it is very spare (dos/modules.txt in
debian-installer cvs). Only certian dpkg features can be used in udebs.

What if debian install requires a stock standard package thats in main,
does that package have to be in both archives?
Yes.
Mabye in the long run some sort of sub-packaging system may be
apropriate, that way the installer could extract some binaries from
existing

I've actually been wondering if it might be possible to put the udebs in
binary-i386 (but not in the Packages files for any distribution), and
then just have Packages files in disks-i386 (or whatever). This lets us
use some features of the package pools for udebs too. James?

It's a part of main just like boot-floppies is a part of main.
And since we are requiring completely separate packages (.udebs),
having a separate archive section makes sense really.

I would respond to this point by point but it probably suffices to say
that we have discussed with James how the debian-installer packages can
fit into the archive, and once the new package pool stuff moves into
place James is pretty sure it will be easy to do and has committed to
doing it.

This is not the whole story. The package did not contain several
