amiga-fdisk problems are reported left and right, maybe I should do
something about it. I don't know much about the debian-installer, for the
boot-floppies we have an amiga-fdisk-bf package, which does not require
libreadline4, can't we use this package instead of amiga-fdisk?
libreadline4: is it a bug that it was removed from debootstrap, or is it a
bug that amiga-fdisk needs it? I know there is a problem with libreadline4
not be of priority required, my favorite solution would be to make
libreadline4 required, would it be included in debootstrap then?
Another solution might be to create an amiga-fdisk udeb, with or without
libreadline4, but I don't know if that would help in making sure that a full
featured amiga-fdisk (ie using libreadline4) would be installed on the
system after the installation has finished.
I will try to release an amiga-fdisk package that fixes most of these
problems, any suggestions, hints to create a udeb, if needed, welcome.
