I don't think our loader will mind the move (it should look in both places), I'm just a little bit worried about anything that would hardcode paths. That might not be the case in a debian-installer context, but we know various packages in the archive rely on that… Unless someone else from debian-boot@ objects, maybe go ahead, and we'll fix what breaks (if anything), now that we know the change is coming up? (I suppose the reason for the move is to keep the diff between debs and udebs small? Not moving in the first place would be an option… ;p) Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (kibi@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
