   The setup engine API will not be linked with Qt at all. That is the whole

Well, you still can't link the boot-floppies with Qt, even indirectly
through another library.

   I shall send out our draft spec next week so that everyone can
   comment on. Thanks.

Glad to hear it.  I'll be happy to take a look at it, and I'm sure the
rest of debian-boot will be too.

Thanks,

Ben.
