Package: mknbi
Version: 1.4.4-11
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

from http://etherboot.org/wiki/doc

NBI, Etherboot and Linux 2.6
Unfortunately, mknbi cannot be used to make a NBI of a Linux 2.6 (or newer)
kernel image. If you are tied to Etherboot but need to boot a Linux 2.6 or
newer kernel, wraplinux must be used to create a working NBI.

This appears be the only issue in an otherwise stable package, and given a
upstream recommended alternative, I recommend adding a note to the man page,
and since wraplinux is packaged for debian that it be recommended to minimize
frustration.
