Package: extlinux
Version: 2:4.02+dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

When installing a new kernel, extlinux does not add a corresponding
entry to the syslinux menu.

If you also happen to remove the last kernel that in your syslinux menu
at the same time, then you are left with an unbootable system, hence RC
severity. The same bug exists for removing kernels but this is not as
bad.

Patch attached.
