I tried it for some months, but we have no gpl'ed unsid package. BootX itself
is GPL, but not sid. This is the reason why BootX isn't in tools available.

Benjamin H. put a BootX*.tar.gz on his webpage for this, but it isn't very
useful as it now is. 

The only way i see is, that we re-pack the bootx*.tar.gz as a StuffIt archive
with the h-tools (hformat, hcopy, ..., old, but not propritary).
