Package: syslinux
Version: 4.05+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
pxechain.com isn't bundled with syslinux-common due to this section in
debian/rules:
override_dh_auto_install:
(...)
rm -f debian/tmp/usr/share/syslinux/*.com # ms-dos executables
Although these files are MS-DOS executables, PXELINUX can run them too - and in
this case the pxechain.com is extremely useful
for 'chaining' between pxelinux instances.
Arguably all the COMBOOT executables are worth bundling - e.g. memdump, ver -
as they can be run from the syslinux command line to provide
useful information.
It's probably harder to justify including the various dosutil/ packages (which
are unbundled by the next line in debian/rules), but they might
still be useful to someone building a SYSLINUX or PXELINUX server.
