Yes, that is correct and that has always been my main motivation to request the change. > then I'm tempted to drop efi-reader from P-a-s/amd64even if it's not > strictly correct to do that. It *is* strictly correct to do that because in my expert opinion as one of the lead maintainers of D-I efi-reader in its current form is *not* suitable for amd64 without a fairly structural rethink how it fits in the total installation and several changes in its code [1]. > (OTOH, I'm pretty sure > that if a third party was to go to them with "Hey, I could use > efi-reader udeb on amd64", and provided a patch, they'd hopefully > include it even if they'd continue not to use efi-reader on amd64.) As (AFAIK) we've never even had a proper request to include efi-reader for amd64 since p-a-s was changed, let alone a discussion on what changes would be needed or a patch, I'm not going to hold my breath. But yes, it can of course be discussed. Thank you for this initiative. Cheers, FJP [1] I have no intention of going into details about this here. My opinion as D-I maintainer should be enough in this context IMO. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
