Just discovered this package when it entered experimental, and wanted to make sure it is mentioned here that Debian Edu have been using eatmydata with Debian installer for many years, see <URL: https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-install/-/blob/master/tools/edu-eatmydata-install?ref_type=heads >
for the installation setup. The idea to make it trivial to enable eatmydata in d-i using a udeb was discussed in <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765527 > and is currently available using the eatmydata-udeb package since before oldstable. As far as I know it is not enabled by default by d-i. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
