If that can't be used with virtualbox (and we already established that, thanks to Michael's testing), that means it's broken with your patch too.
as already elaborated, the bug in vbox needs to be fixed anyway, regardless what version of syslinux is in the archive.. and if you wait until the end of the day, that problem is gone anyway.
- and above all: that wouldn't gain us anything at all.
which is not an argument.. any package that i don't use/care about doesn't give any benefits to me when it get any upload. with that in mind, from my point of view, for any package that i don't use, they should be never ever touched at all to prevent bringing any (potential) bug that could affect me indirectly.
i'm argueing for either an explicit unfrozen sid or an explicit frozen sid. since it's neither right now, and you intend to overwrite the maintainers decision via CTTE to upload newer syslinux to sid, you need to argue against it, not 'doesn't gain anything'.
i've already made the case why i want newer syslinux in sid, and have provided patches for the two packages that needs an update for that (plus the third and only remaining one, vbox, is in the works).
