You are very welcome to create a guest account for Debian Salsa and open merge requests for the debian-installer and debian-cd projects [1]. I think your expertise is very appreciated :-). The projects can be found here: > https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd > https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer There is certainly a lot of room for improvement. Note: The ia64 stuff for debian-cd was copied verbatim from arm64 (boot-ia64 is copied from boot-arm64 in debian-cd).
