Package: main-menu Severity: normal Tags: d-i Recently the way d-i does an exit/reboot was changed, so that menu items may pass a special code 11 or 12 to main-menu, which then exits with that same code, and causes rootskel to halt or reboot the system. This change has made d-i less robust. It means that if some menu item goes haywire and happens to return one of these codes, the system will inexplicably reboot. Compare it to the other magic exit code, 10, which just makes main-menu lower the priority and display the menu, an inherently safe action. But with this reboot thing, something goes wrong and the system may just reboot itself unexpectedly, which will be a joy to debug, I'm sure. This is a fundamental misdesign. It should be reverted. -- see shy jo
