Package: u-boot-menu

Hello,

Currently any changes done to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf will be 
overwritten on the next kernel update.

It would be nice to have some mechanism to include custom entries. In my 
case I need an entry with a different root partition (to boot a 
different install).

One idea would be to have a U_BOOT_CUSTOM configuration variable to 
specify a file to be included as is.

If you think the idea is good I might be able to come up with a patch 
for it.


Thanks for considering,
Andrei
