Package: flash-kernel
Version: 3.20
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-...@lists.debian.org

The new boot.scr bootargs handling needs some work before it is suitable
for Jessie, so filing this as an rc bug.

See the thread starting at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2014/06/msg00064.html for discussion.

The main issue is the unconditional override of the u-boot environment
bootargs, which is surprising to users and perhaps wrong e.g. it can
omit console settings etc.

Some more minor issues:
      * Default /etc/default/flash-kernel:LINUX_KERNEL_CMDLINE is not
        set  when flash-kernel is upgraded. It is only set for fresh
        install, perhaps set from /proc/cmdline?
      * Debconf stuff for LINUX_KERNEL_CMDLINE should only be active for
        systems where it will be used via the boot.scr. In particular on
        systems with Bootloader-Sets-Incorrect-Root: yes it should not
        be presented. Should not create /e/d/f-k in this case?

Ian.
