I like the general idea of building what are currently udebs from the same source, rather than having the binary packages kicking around, but "embedded" is the wrong name. It's not even remotely related to embedded systems, this is purely for debian-installer (boot-floppies will be obsolete by the time something like this is implemented). 'debian-installer' is a possibility, but I find it somewhat graceless. Anybody got any better ideas? NB: I'm not sure this belongs in policy. udebs aren't in policy either, nor do they need to be, and it doesn't apply to the majority of packages. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- http://www.debian.org/ | London, UK
