Indeed; but people earlier in this thread have said that this isn't the preferred approach, so I was arguing that this *should* be the preferred approach in Debian if systemd is selected as the default, rather than having helper packages that have to wander around fiddling with the configuration of half a dozen different boot loaders to point them to the right place. If the people whose comments I was reading weren't accurately reflecting the position of the Debian systemd maintainers, then I apologise for misunderstanding. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
