Gibraltar is Debian-based, a firewall distribution bootable from CD-ROM. But installing the gibraltar-bootsupport package on a Debian system that is installed on a harddisk partition (and not especially prepared for this) will break things. Therefore the package should not be installable by Debian users, it will break their system. > If you really think it serves no purpose at all, then comment the build > for the gibraltar-specific package out in your debian/rules file. It serves a purpose, but only for Gibraltar installations. So the package is needed, it simply should not be included in the Debian archive, but should only be downloadable from a separate apt source.
