I heard there were some objections to this change for a stable update:
| 11:29 < Lunar^> 13:42 < zobel> waldi: i read that as: libd-i did not
| work for O2's before. now that is added, which is new functionality.
SGI O2 machines are fully supported in etch but libd-i neglects to
recognize those with a Nevada CPU. Now you could argue this is new
functionality but given that etch supports SGI O2 and it doesn't fail
in an obvious way on an O2 with a Nevada CPU I'd say this is a bug
fix.
Also, it's an obvious one liner:
