Hi,
I was wondering if you'd mind applying a small patch from Ubuntu which
enables support for lpia in vbetool. I know that Debian doesn't
(currently?) have an lpia port, but this is the only delta and it
won't adversely affect you or introduce any maintenance burden :). Other
packages have introduced similar changes to reduce the delta, see bug
#488278 for example.
In Ubuntu, we've applied the attached patch to achieve the following:
* Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #312950), remaining changes:
+ Build on lpia
+ No x86emu on lpia
Thanks for your time,
Iain
