Found in di-utils: # Skip module-specific variables varnodot="${var##*.*}" if [ "$varnodot" = "" ]; then continue fi So basically any option containing a dot is not propagated to the installed system. This was introduced by 7cf15980d714da8b958a73c93459ee09fdbb9415 ("Skip new module-specific parameters in user-params.") I don't know the rationale behind this. Joey? Samuel
