Package: src:debian-installer-netboot-images Severity: wishlist Hi,
The debian-installer-*-netboot-* packages currently explicitly filter out mini.iso by way of an explicit "grep -v mini.iso", which according to git history has always been the case. One use case for having mini.iso files on hosts would be to have them available on a VM host, to allow for easy installations of the VM guests (just point to mini.iso as the file to boot from, and pronto). Having them be installed by package by the VM host would mean they're always up-to-date. I'd like to see that filtering out of mini.iso removed. Downside is that it would approximately double the size of the packages, since the mini.iso contains everything that's in the netboot.tar.gz, but I think the advantage outweighs that minor downside.
