Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
(I have a feeling I already reported this and been tagged WONTFIX;
apologies if this is the case and I can't find it in the BTS.)
Currently AFAICT the preseed file must be supplied either within the
initrd, on local media (including the install CD), or via HTTP or FTP.
I would find it useful if the preseed file could be fetched via TFTP.
This is particularly useful when netbooting, as I already have the
netboot files in debian-installer/ -- it would be easy for me to have
a second tree d-i/{etch,lenny}/preseed.cfg.
This is also useful when doing "fake" netboots with qemu, because then
I could do something like
qemu -tftp d-i/etch/ -bootp preseed.cfg \
-kernel debian-installer/linux -initrd debian-installer/initrd.gz
without needing to run a separate http process. (QEMU has built-in
support for providing DHCP and TFTP to the VM, but not HTTP.)

[ Colin Watson ]
* Upgrade to debhelper v7.
* Add a dummy initctl similar to the dummy start-stop-daemon, so that
attempts to control Upstart jobs (if Upstart is in use) won't do
anything.
.
[ Aurelien Jarno ]
* Also ship other terminfo on GNU/kFreeBSD, they are also used in some
cases (e.g. installation through ssh).
.
[ Chris Lamb ]
* Add "usb-partition" argument to list-devices for detecting partitions on
USB drives. Patch originally by Tormod Volden <debian.tormod@gmail.com>.
Option is to be used for creating Debian Live USB sticks.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* apt-install: no longer disable Recommends; it is now a global setting.
