Re: Bug#396365: please add a gdb .udeb, for easier debugging inside d-i



Hello Daniel,

I am glad you took this to the debian-boot mailing list as Sven Luther, 
who currently is not even a member of the Debian Installer team, filed 
this request without discussing it on the debian-boot list first.
As such, this is an "unauthorized" request.

Please take this conclusion from Joey Hess as the final statement on this 
request. It would have limited benefits, but not enough to warrant the 
creation and the maintenance of the udeb.

Feel free to either close this BR or mark it wontfix.
