Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: casper

1) Move lupin find_iso and find_preseed (and related helper functions)
to Casper since they are not specific to loopinstallations

2) Rename boot parameters as follows:
 
find_iso -> iso or hd/iso
find_preseed -> preseed or import/preseed or hd/preseed

3) Add new boot parameters to casper:

override_script #script to be executed at the end of casper-bottom, after 
squashfs is mounted
override_files # => cp -a override_files /tmp/ (the path can be relative to 
override_script folder)

4) Path syntax

myfile=/path/to/file #absolute path starting at initrd root
myfile=path/to/file #relative path is allowed for some parameters (e.g. 
override_files)
myfile=FIND=/path/to/file #implies search in all block devices
myfile=UUID=/fccafdc7-d7cc-4594-9459-a8f0db7b9f7f/path/to/file
myfile=DEV=/sda/path/to/file

5) Add following methods (see lupin helper functions):

get_file PATH PARENT (gets files or folder given path syntax above, parent is 
used for relative paths)
find_file (called by get_file, if FIND is used)
cleanup (we should probably use $FOUNDPATH as opposed to passing an argument)
