Ah, I see your point. I agree if kexec-tools gets pulled in as dependency for kdump-tools and ends up modifying reboot behavior, that is an unexpected result from a user's point of view. Instead of making kexec-tools more complicated by trying to split it, I would rather change the default to not enable kexec reboot and let people edit the config file to enable it. Let me give this some more thought. Thanks -- =================== Khalid Aziz kha...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
