I actually totally agree with you. Not to mention possible licensing
issues??
Anyhow, the other ports are just as guilty of this... I think it's
important that the boot floppies can be built by anyone.
On other platforms it's even worse, or just as bad, for instance, I
can't even build a sparc64 kernel image in Debian/sparc for my sun4u
using materials from the debian archive, period!!
However, it's a problem we'll have to solve in potato, not in
slink... or so I hope.
