Bug#652275: Bug#740330: [PATCH] Combine / and /usr partitions in 'multi' recipes



Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> (2014-03-02):
> Remove /usr partitions from all 'multi' recipes.

Usually, debcheckout debian-installer, cd under build, and:
  make rebuild_netboot-gtk USE_UDEBS_FROM=unstable

Hacked udebs can be put under build/localudebs.

Since partman-auto isn't included in that image (and would then be
fetched from the network), you can give it a shot replacing netboot-gtk
with monolithic:
  make rebuild_monolithic USE_UDEBS_FROM=unstable

You should see apt fetch the patched udeb from the localudebs directory.

(For some reasons, while testing this, I see partman-auto stuff under
/var/lib/dpkg/info in mini.iso's initrd.gz, but not in the running
system; but then it's late and I might be missing something obvious.)
