Package: win32-loader
Version: 0.6.0~pre3
Severity: important
Preseed parameter list may get truncated because of Linux cmdline 256 B limit.
This is very unlikely with 0.6.0~pre3 but current svn contains additions
(passwd/user-fullname) that make this happen often.
I'll try to solve it by using cpio to append a preseed file to initrd, and
moving most of the parameters to that scheme.
