Alternatively, we could add an isomarkboot program (or source) to the
debian-cd package. Slink-cd shipped including isomarkboot for alpha
and i386. Loic Prylli compiled up the i386 version for me ages ago -
January 1999. Or (as he suggested back then!) we should split the
isomarkboot program off into a separate package for all architectures,
and then debian-cd can depend on it.
Checking now, I can't get isomarkboot to build from source on my i386
box, but that could well be a local problem...
