Bug#809301: Should usb-serial-modules be excluded from network-console/armel.cfg?
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20151024
In commit cb01da86 ("Add usb-serial-modules to armel images"), Samuel
Thibault added usb-serial-modules to various armel images.
It was added to pkg-lists/netboot/armel.cfg, which means it will be
included in all netboot images, including network-console, which
depends on netboot.
It was also added to pkg-lists/netboot/network-console/armel.cfg
explicitly, in a block excluding various udebs with the comment:
# Exclude framebuffer related modules that are listed in netboot/armel.cfg
I wonder if the line in pkg-lists/netboot/network-console/armel.cfg
should REMOVE usb-serial-modules rather than ADD it.
I'm not sure when usb-serial-modules is useful but I assume it's
related to Braille devices. Since network-console installations are
done via SSH, I believe it doesn't make sense to include that module
there.
Can you comment?
