I think a source package has this in favor of it: We need the built images to be uploaded somewhere, and there's already the whole mechanism for autobuilders to upload what their source packages build. Plus all the tracking of failed builds and so on. All we need is a hack on the autobuilders to rebuild the d-i source every day. What would be uploaded is another question. I have doubts that the ftpmasters would appreciate getting a dozen "byhand" files dropped into Incoming every day. Maybe some special section could be set up so the images get automatically installed into it. Maybe Alastair's old deb of images idea is even reasonable. But we probably need to get ftpmaster involved in designing this to make sure we end up with something they can deal with. -- see shy jo
