That doesn't mean we should be keeping syslinux 5 in sid in the meanwhile, especially since that's preventing us from releasing d-i wheezy rc1.
(ftr) which is where i disagree, with the mentioned patch against d-i and debian-cd, you can release d-i wheezy rc1, even with syslinux 5.x in sid.
even more so: since steve uses a local copy of syslinux anyway (judging from debian-cd sources as unfortunately the setup of debian-cd on the buildhost is not documented) when invoking debian-cd, it doesn't matter at all what version of syslinux is in sid.
therefore, right now, even without any patches, the only actually affected things are the images within the debian-installer-images tarball built by src:debian-installer, which i believe should be possible to fix without too much of a hassle. let me know if you want me to come up with a patch for that too.
