Control: tags -1 + confirmed pending I've looked at what d-i does when installing on iSCSI and generating an initiator name in postinst is mostly harmless. d-i generates its own initiator name (see iscsi stuff in partman) and the hooks in the open-iscsi-udeb will copy all the configuration to the host system at the end of the install.
The thing that changes with this is now that a second iname will be generated by postinst while installing the package, which will then be overwritten by the open-iscsi-udeb. But since the initramfs was generated beforehand, the initiator name in there will be the one generated by the package installation (that isn't present on the system anymore) and not the one used by d-i that is now the one on the system. As soon as the initramfs is regenerated for the first time, the name will then match the one d-i generated. This shouldn't be more than a cosmetic issue in my eyes, but maybe we should change the udeb to update the initramfs as well, just in case. Regardless, I've committed the patch to git. There was one issue with it, in that it left an obsolete conffile lying around, because initiatorname.iscsi is not shipped by open-iscsi anymore. I've created an additional commit that fixes this, so that there are no obsolete conffile lying around, because administrators might delete those.
