I got halfway through a project that would solve broadly the same problems as your /etc/issue proposal. It faltered when Launchpad kept attaching the blueprint to Drupal and the merge proposal didn't go anywhere.
The would-be blueprint is still available[1], the bug in Launchpad has been fixed[2], and the merge proposal is still awaiting review[3]. If anyone can suggest a plan to get the merge looked at, the rest should only be a few days of work. - Andrew [1]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BlueScreenOfLife [2]https://bugs.launchpad.net/blueprint/+bug/320889 [3]https://code.launchpad.net/~andrew-bugs-launchpad-net/friendly-recovery/ubuntu/+merge/3642 -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
