But does it also understand Linux device names, like sda1? AFAIUI these
are not even consistent within Linux, depending on the order of modules
loaded at boot, etc.

it uses a format like this:

label other-os
    kernel chain.c32
    append hd1 2

('hd 1 2' would be equivalent to sdb3)

So you think the general menu structure is a specific theme's business?

yes. extlinux-update shall only take care about populating the kernel entries in linux.cfg (and the like).

With what kind of menu will you end up when no syslinux-themes-* package
is installed?

none. you just get a prompt.

i think that boot.txt should be pimped a bit (and, if EXTLINUX_QUIET=false (default), then should contain a list of kernels -> labels).
