I'm working on them today anyway.
Is anyone from debian-boot interested in adopting bogl, by the way? I
adopted it in order to start the bogl-based d-i frontend a long time
ago; I don't know if anyone ever picked up that code to do anything
with it or not. And I haven't had time to work on it in a very long
time. Bogl needs at the least to have some attention given to
scrolling performance (which _sucks_).
My other question is if bterm is still necessary. As I recall it was
used in order to support UTF-8, right? But Linux kernels as of 2.4.x
have native UTF-8 support on the console; is it inadequate?
