** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kexec-tools
When I have kexec-tools installed, it seems to trigger a kexec whenever
I shut down or reboot. This doesn't seem like sensible default
behavior, and my reading of the init script seems to indicate that it's
not intentional. It happens nonetheless, though.

- SRU Justification
+ SRU Justification [Jaunty]
Impact: when kexec-tools is installed reboot is optimised using kexec,
the user no longer drops to bios nor sees their bootloader menus. this
should be an opt-in change as the user may install kexec to get crash
dump functionality and is not expecting reboot to be altered.
Fix Description: change the default to disable use of kexec for reboot
by default
Patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26022183/kexec-tools-default-
KEXEC_LOAD-false
Risks: the change of default may affect previous installs
TEST CASE: install kexec-tools and reboot, the bios and bootloader are
skipped
