Source: grub2 Version: 2.04-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-kali X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Tools like simple-cdd ensures the presence of grub-efi on the generated ISO image but don't have a simple way to to deal with architecture specific packages. When we tested an arm64 image generated by simple-cdd, it was lacking the grub-efi support and thus the installer was broken. Thus I'd like to suggest to keep grub-efi not as a transitional package but as normal dummy package depending on the appropriate package for each architecture. The attached patch implements this. Thank you for considering this! -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Raphaël Hertzog <[email protected]> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ The Debian Handbook: https://debian-handbook.info/get/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Debian Long Term Support: https://deb.li/LTS
