Version: 3:6.03~pre1+dfsg-1
Severity: important

The experimental packages of syslinux move files around and thus breaks
all syslinux users that rely on the default (upstream defined) location of
the syslinux provided files.

live-build 3.x is affected, as is debian-cd, and most likely
debian-installer too.

What are the reasons to move all those files around ?

Furthermore picking directory names with capitals (/usr/lib/SYSLINUX.EFI/,
/usr/lib/ISOLINUX/, etc) is very ugly.

Please keep backwards compatibility as much as possible and stick close to
the upstream choice when the location doesn't break FHS.

It's ok to split the package (although I'm not sure I understand the
need), but don't move files away from where they are expected.

Cheers,
