Bug#1060346: live-boot-initramfs-tools: Debian Live ISO not bootable on exfat partition (loopback)



Package: live-boot-initramfs-tools
Version: 1:20230131
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mexit.dev@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Debian Live ISO images on a fat32 partition boot correctly using the loopback function in Grub.
As ISO images are getting larger, there may be a problem writing such images to fat32 in the near future.

The solution is to save and boot such images from exfat-formatted partitions.
The exfat module, however, is not available in initrd which makes it impossible to run all Debian distributions and derivatives from this filesystem.

Please consider adding the exfat module to the `/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live` file.
