1. If /srv/tftp is used as the default location, it cannot be made mandatory, and users must have a simple way to change it. (see the FHS definition of /srv). 2. What use to you see for tftp-get-root-location ? 3. Since tftp does not follow symlink and packages are not allowed to install file into /srv/, how can packages provide contents to the tftp server in a user-friendly way ? 4. To be useful, a virtual package like tftp-server need to have some other packages depending on it. Which packages are you envisionning that will depend on tftp-server ? (I use tftp to install Debian using netboot d-i and I am quite interested in a more streamlined tftpd in Debian, so I am interested in this proposal).
