I have *repeatedly* stated the desire to have boot-floppies upload
tarball(s) such as the powerpc does.
PLEASE! YES! We shall upload tarballs and not random resc1440.bin files.
Someone, please hack on debian/rules to implement this in the proper
cross-architecture fashion. Or do I have to do it myself? [I don't
have time and am already behind in the documentation.]
