In the mean time I've already removed the symlink as it's no longer needed. The reason it was originally added was that directfb would display an "error" on VT1 while the installer was booting that said it could not find its config file there. We were afraid that would confuse people and possibly result in a lot of BRs from users about it. Adding the symlink avoided the error. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
