Bug#685186: IA64 (Itanium) Wheezy, ELILO installation failed, patch proposal

So the next step is either to convince Debian's kernel maintainers
that it is worth including that module in the installer, or the elilo
maintainers that debian/elilo.sh should not use iocharset=iso8859-1,
or both.
Life is hard, I can tell you. I hoped you would do it voluntary :-).
What I want you to do isn't a big thing. Just to allow something,
which is possible with the Debian kernel, also in the d-i.

None of this is particularly relevant to the EFI boot volume, though,
as all filenames on there should be ASCII-only.
You are right. It doesn't really matter how this bug is fixed.
Unfortunately there isn't any message of the elilo maintainer yet.

In general, for what it's worth I disagree about that, but I wouldn't
be surprised if there are other considerations in this particular case
(if so, what are they?).
It seems that you have already decided how the bug will be fixed.
If you really want a change of elilo.sh, please could *you* do that (nmu).
There wasn'a any activity on the elilo package for months...
