Summary concerning the patch:
* Jonas provided patches in https://bugs.debian.org/759424#57
* I had to modify Jonas' patch slightly to make it work here:
https://bugs.debian.org/759424#33
* Jonas disagrees with that modification, the diffence is diskussed in
https://bugs.debian.org/759424#62 from my POV.
* Discussion got stuck.
* I sent some minor improvement patches in https://bugs.debian.org/759424#67
and https://bugs.debian.org/759424#72
So what's basically needed is someone who could test independently if either
Jonas patch is fine as it is, or if my modifications are needed.
As soon as it's clear which patch-version is fine, the patch should work.
I use di-netboot-assistant in debian-lan, with a workaround applied [1] to
compensate for the missing patch (my version, of course). If the package
is removed, debian-lan would fail to work :-(
So if possible, check if the patch works and then let's prepare the fixed
package. Removing the package breaks debian-lan. I am happy to help, but
for the time being someone independent is needed to verify which patch-version
is fine.
Best regards,
Andi
