[ I've added debian-boot ml to CC ] I understand that you wish to update GNOME, specially GTK, in unstable but I think this can't make installer broken as a conseguence. Your comment fears me even more since it does look that we can end up without directfb support for long time... I think you agree with me that Graphical Installer can't be droped from Debian without a lot of people being unhappy and tagging it as a really serious regression for user POV so having it in mind I believe we need to find an alternative for it. Who was last people that worked at those patches? Could them help us on that? In case they can't, do we have someone interested to work at it inside of GNOME/GTK/Debian GNOME team?
