Could you please clarify? Sounds like there's some important info I have
missed and may need to correct for lessdisks (and if so, we should
probably split this bug and tie it to lessdisks as well).

| Where?
Here (sorry for not clarifying: I meant the lessdisks _source_ package):
| Package: kernel-image-netbootable
| Architecture: all
| Pre-Depends: initrd-netboot-tools
| Depends: kernel-image-2.4-386[i386] | kernel-image-2.4-generic[alpha]
| kernel-image-2.6-386[i386] | kernel-image-2.6-generic[alpha] |
kernel-image[!i386,alpha] | kernel-image-netboot
| Suggests: mknbi[i386], aboot[alpha], mkvmlinuz[powerpc]
| Description: net-bootable kernel for use with diskless systems
Is that somehow illegal?
Or is it a different situation than with education-common?
