1. I don't understand why it has to be removed; it's an 
 interface that has been used, and not documented as 
 deprecated anywhere.

2. If it's really a problem that such symlink exists, 
 please do document it in the manual page, changelog,
 NEWS.Debian, and release-notes of debian-installer,
 and then remove after etch.

 Please provide a 'initex' that prints out a warning that
 it is being deprecated for etch.


regards,
