Ok, upstream clarified the issue: "boot files" in the upstream bug
report refers to dhcpy6d's support for PXE boot parameters. So the PXE
support seems to be broken in currently Bullseye, Bookworm and Sid.

The fix seems not invasive, the syntax error is obvious and PXE is not
an unimportant feature, so I'll prepare a stable update for this as well.
