Thank you for working on this, and sorry for my not able to provide more help. I don't expect it to be included to Wheezy in current stage of freeze, and a backport will work. I work part-time in an IDC and the needs of some not-so-common usages (like vlan support in d-i) are obvious to me. Replacing some of RHEL/CentOS installations with Debian helps quite a log in daily operation, but this gives me some chances to find problems and help on improving Debian in such environments. It would be handy if the option is shown if vlan udeb is selected when choosing additional functions during installation, but I doubt whether this can apply for kBSD as they seem to have vlan support built-in to the kernel. Also hurd does not support 8021q vlan yet, showing the option does not make sense for it. -- Regards, Aron Xu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
