Hi all,
I really don't want to be pushy (I appreciate that you all spend your free time making Debian a better distribution) but am just curious about the chances to get all the bits and pieces mentioned in this bug report merged before Jessie gets frozen (so that one can take an official Debian Jessie netinst ISO and drop it onto a loopback-boot enabled USB drive next to installers for Ubuntu and other Linux distros that already support it, and it will "just work"). I guess I am not the only person who likes to have one USB drive with all their Linux install and live media present all the time, and currently this means for me that whenever a new d-i comes out (that I want to use), I have to collect patches from bug reports and build my own d-i (and test it on a VM to avoid regressions) so that I can loopback boot it from my USB drive. As this means a considerable amount of effort (multiplied by the number of people who are doing this all for themselves), if the odds are bad to get it into official Jessie installers, perhaps we (who are regularly or occasionally monitoring this bug) can coordinate our efforts and provide an unofficial Debian Jessie netinstaller image somewhere (no idea about how hosting stuff works within the Debian project, but for me even some prebuilt and tested .iso on a Dropbox or similar file hoster would be good enough - YMMV).
