I know that very well, read it multiple times :) You need to consider that d-i only ships radeonfb (there is another bug report from milan@d.o requesting it) about that. So the question is really during d-i should we leave it as-is with a very low level offb, or try to tidy up radeonfb (radeon.ko will never be part of d-i, there is also a long thread about this). -M
