That doesn't mean they were right.

And in the meantime it's RC buggy on those architectures, meaning the new version will not migrate to testing. What you're describing sounds like a suggestion to build-depend on kexec-tools - in fact, the package in stable and testing does exactly that; the build dependency appears to have been dropped in petitboot's 12.10.16.14.58-ge7815dc-1 upload with no mention in the changelog. > If you want to do something I recommend you file a bug against > kexec-tools to have it fixed for those listed arches. Such a bug wouldn't be RC in any case, and doesn't change the fact that petitboot has been uninstallable on several architectures for nearly six months.
