Re: Bootloader udeb selection for specific platform

[Félix Arreola Rodríguez <fgatuno.123@gmail.com>]

Another suggest is that, the boot loaders udebs, provide the virtual
udeb package "bootable-system"

Your udeb must install the boot loader, and when the udeb is done, the
main-menu will choose finish-install automatically.
