But debian-cd does not use grub-mkrescue yet. (I guess it would need
it capable of Jigdo production, at least.)

Shall we move this topic to debian-cd list ?

Proposing:
Migrate kfreebsd production to grub-mkrescue resp. have an MBR based
boot image file in  cdrom/debian-cd_info.tar.gz , from where debian-cd
seems to get its El Torito boot image file.


Have a nice day :)
