Firstly, that change wasn't complete by the date of the base freeze. Secondly, everything with priority >= standard was frozen in addition to what debootstrap installs. See http://release.debian.org/base-standard-freeze.txt for the complete list, which indeed includes quik. > Other bootloader have also lowered their priority to optional in order > to avoid installs on the wrong subarchitecture. quik should probably > wollow that scheme. There's already a bug on ftp.debian.org (#278187) to have the priority changed. Fortunately, the current quik maintainer scripts check the subarchitecture themselves to avoid doing harmful things on other systems. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
