Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.00+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Hi again,

I'd like to see support for other boot options than linux kernels in local
/boot in extlinux-upgrade. It seems to me that currently support for at least
memtets86+ can be added by means of a specific syslinux-theme, but I think in
the long term a more generic support is required - think of grub2's /etc/grub.d
mechanism. Automatic detection and addition of images like memtest86, grub-
invaders or maybe even chainloadable boot loaders of foreign OSes (via os-
prober) would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Fabian
