Bug#693839: debian-installer: kernel install fails on armel buffalo linkstation pro, missing uboot-mkimage



Control: reassign -1 flash-kernel 3.3
Control: severity -1 serious

> Severity: grave
> Tags: d-i
> Justification: renders package unusable

Hi, and thanks for your report.

u-boot-tools is only in “Suggests” for flash-kernel, while your
situation suggests it might be better to have it in “Recommends”.
What do others think?
