But for other architectures there is. So this binary package could be built for architectures where a reasonable default exists but not for those where it doesn't. Package: linux-image-default Architecture: i386, alpha, amd64, arm64, armhf, ia64, m68k, armel, hppa, powerpc, ppc64, ppc64el, powerpcspe, riscv64, s390x, sparc64 Depends: linux-image-686 [i386], linux-image-alpha-generic [alpha], linux-image-amd64 [amd64], linux-image-arm64 [arm64], linux-image-armmp [armhf], linux-image-itanium [ia64], linux-image-m68k [m68k], linux-image-marvell [armel], linux-image-parisc [hppa], linux-image-powerpc [powerpc], linux-image-powerpc64 [ppc64], linux-image-powerpc64le [ppc64el], linux-image-powerpcspe [powerpcspe], linux-image-riscv64 [riscv64], linux-image-s390x [s390x], linux-image-sparc64 [sparc64] Maybe some of the above still has to be removed but do really too few architectures remain where a sane choice exists? Thanks! cheers, josch
