Bug#35612: sparc: /dev/mouse -> sunmouse
Package: boot-floppies
Version: slink
Severity: important
Architecture: sparc
Since xserver-xsun and gpm and many other pacakges assume /dev/mouse
is a link to a valid mouse, and since by default only /dev/sunmouse is
created on the boot-floppies, for sparc, we should make a symlink from
/dev/mouse -> sunmouse.
