Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: d-i While the kmod package has been providing since January an udeb package intended as the replacement for module-init-tools-udeb, it was never actually used due to an unfortunate misunderstanding about how d-i is supposed to load modules.
wheezy cannot be released with module-init-tools-udeb because module-init-tools is abandoned upstream and by me, and I am not even sure if it can be uploaded again in its current form since kmod has taken over the module-init-tools binary package name. Also it is not a good idea to use different modprobe implementations in the the installer and in the installed system. kmod has replaced module-init-tools in unstable since March with no significant issues and now it is used by every other distribution. I think that the libkmod2-udeb package is ready to replace module-init-tools-udeb, but if any changes are still needed I commit to fixing it quickly to prevent breaking the installer. (It is not compiled with -Os right now due to a bug, but I already have a fix ready to be uploaded.) -- ciao, Marco
