Package: syslinux
Version: 2:4.02+dfsg-7
Severity: minor

Hi,

according to Michael Prokop's blog entry [1] the newly introduced grub-
imageboot package [2] (maintainer Alexander Wirt CC:ed) adds support for image
files in /boot/images, whereas extlinux expects them in /boot. This will result
in unexpected behaviour and inconvenience for users when switching from one
bootloader to another. Please agree upon a common location for these image
files.

Cheers,
Fabian
