Bug#368660: Cleanup of boot partition detection code
Package: elilo-installer
Version: 1.5
The attached patch was created to fix the following problems installing
Ubuntu on ia64:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/elilo-installer/+bug/38232
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/elilo-installer/+bug/40665
I haven't tested this on Debian, but the new code is cleaner and less
prone to failures imo. However, there is now a dependency on partman's
find-partitions...
