Of course a failing d-i build means src:debian-installer FTBFS. What
else would that be?

I'm not amused. Please explain how you managed to build installation
images with a failing d-i build.

I'm not sure why you're insisting on the renaming. Please explain why
you did that (see my first follow-up).


Also.

No, IRC isn't the place to ask fly-by “I'll upload debian-installer?”
like questions.

No, it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER to upload debian-installer right now
anyway since the linux kernel is not ready. It's not even built
everywhere!


Please see my mail about avoiding disruptive changes. This kind of
changes should have been done at the beginning of the release cycle.
We're way past the time it's OK to merge such disruptive changes with
absolutely no coordination, and no test.

Since you failed to give a reason to keep this change, I think a
revert is the best way.

KiBi.
