Fellow Debianistas,
Why does Debian drop symlinks to vmlinuz and initrd.gz into the root
directory? The FHS does allow it (after all), but it's butt-ugly, if
you ask me.
Can we please use the upcoming release to clean this issue up? It
would require the following, I think:
- change the template default in rootskel.
- change the bootloaders to look for /boot/vmlinuz instead of
/vmlinuz.
- give the bootloaders the ability to detect a missing symlink in
/ and create it after asking the user, or just creating it and
warning about the deprecated feature, asking for an update of
the configuration files.
What do you think?
