To clarify, I rebuilt the Jessie d-i version with this modified grub-installer included in the initrd and did two tests: A normal x86/UEFI install, from mini.iso, which showed no change in behaviour (i.e. Debian was added to the boot order as expected). In the installed system I then installed the updated version of grub2 and manually confirmed that /var/cache/debconf/config.dat had the new option set to true and that having deleted Debian from the boot order dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64 put it back and that dpkg-reconfigure -plow grub-efi-amd64 asked me the question and it behaved as expected (i.e. didn't add the entry if I deselected the new option). I then reinstalled using my patched d-i but with grub-installer/install-to-nvram=false added tothe kernel command line. I ran through the install and observed in syslog that grub-installer had passed --no-nvram but that Debian was added to the boot order by the existing grub2 packages from the archive (not my patched version) as they were installed. Then in the installed system I confirmed that /var/cache/debconf/config.dat had the new question in it set to false. Deleting the boot order and then installing my patched grub2 packages then correctly obeyed that setting, leading me to conclude that if it had been present in the archive during install then the right thing would have happened.

Hi, Michael Biebl bi...@debian.org (2015-07-16): Am 15.07.2015 um 19:08 schrieb Martin Pitt: Cyril Brulebois [2015-07-15 18:03 +0200]: Bottom line(s): --- I'll be testing 221-1 to make sure I reproduce the issue with a full install, then 221-1 + two patches to make sure it goes away. If that works fine, it might be a good idea to tpu 221-1+deb9u1 so that we get d-i Stretch Alpha 1 unstuck ASAP, while not having to figure out what new joy the 222 release would bring. Testing with libvirt led me to the expected issues: eth0 in /e/n/i vs. ens3 on the kernel side. Applying both patches to systemd and rebuilding d-i against its updated udebs gave me proper support for a basic installation (with ens3 in /e/n/i), and also for a desktop-based installation (xfce with network-manager, nothing but loopback in /e/n/i). So that looks good to me! I would recommend to only put the debian/udev-udeb.install parts of http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-systemd/systemd.git/commit/?id=7b5eb265bbb2 into the t-p-u upload. Or both of the above patches. Either is safe against 221-1, the former is less intrusive. Yeah, I felt like getting part of the first commit would do, but it feels a bit better to avoid cutting patches in halves, and to simply merge both of them. As long as you're OK with it, and testing agrees… I've done that and published the debian/221-1+deb9u1 tag on my stretch branch here: https://mraw.org/git/?p=systemd-debian.git git://git.mraw.org/systemd-debian.git I need to run for today, but I can prepare an upload tomorrow early morning if you want to; if you would like to do that yourself, please go ahead with a direct NMU. I decided to upload 222-2 to unstable with the aforementioned fixes. This should give at least the initramfs-tools bits a bit of testing, even if you decide in the end to only include the udeb bits. Looks great, thanks! As for doing a t-p-u: sounds fine with me. I'll be around today/Thursday but then away until Monday. But systemd is in more then capable hands with Martin. I'm attaching the source debdiff against the version in testing to this mail, so that Niels can (possibly) give me a green light for an upload.

Bug#791794: Detecting a d-i context from within /target? (was: Bug#791794: UUID not found for root)
Hi,
Colin Watson cjwat...@debian.org (2015-07-16):
On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 10:05:48AM -0400, Martin Michlmayr wrote:
On a related note, flash-kernel waits for user input when the UUID of
root is not found, which makes sense in an installed system, but not
in d-i -- for the user, d-i will just hang with no obvious error. Is
there a good way to solve this? In particular, is there a way for a
postinst in /target to detect that it's run from within d-i? KiBi
doesn't know a way. I guess a debconf prompt is the way to go?
I think trying to add debconf prompting to an initramfs hook would
probably be unwise. flash-kernel already seems to check for
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive, so you could just set that in
flash-kernel-installer.postinst when calling flash-kernel.
I'm not aware of other use cases right now, but maybe we could or should
standardize on an environment variable we would set in { all | most |
a particular set of } calls to let scripts know they're being executed
within an installer context?
Right now, provided /proc is mounted within /target, looking at /proc/1
might help one figure out that one /might/ might running within d-i; or
looking for main-menu in ps; both approaches look very fragile.
If adding support for a variable looks like a good idea, how should we
name it?
Using sources.debian.net, looking for DEBIAN_INSTALLER returns 3 hits:
- obs-build
- live-build
- libdebian-installer
live-build actually uses longer variable names, so not an issue:
| LB_DEBIAN_INSTALLER
| LB_MIRROR_DEBIAN_INSTALLER
| LB_PARENT_DEBIAN_INSTALLER
| LB_PARENT_MIRROR_DEBIAN_INSTALLER
obs-build uses the same variables.
libdebian-installer uses DEBIAN_INSTALLER__* for define/#include guards,
plus a LIBDEBIAN_INSTALLER_MAP_REAL #define.
So DEBIAN_INSTALLER shouldn't be an issue. Maybe something more specific
would make it easier to check for later…
Thoughts?

Re: Fixing udev-udeb vs. net.ifnames for Stretch Alpha 1
Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (2015-07-16):
Uploaded and accepted into tpu, thanks.
And binary builds are getting rejected due to the python3-systemd binary
which was split out of src:systemd, and has a higher version in testing
(230-1 221-1+deb9u1).
I've therefore cherry-picked:

| Author: Michael Biebl bi...@debian.org
| Date: Wed Jul 8 01:07:53 2015 +0200

| Stop building the Python 3 bindings

| http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-July/033443.html
|
| We keep a Build-Depends on python3 which is required to build the
| documentation.
I'm attaching the matching git format-patch and seeking a go from
systemd maintainers and release team for a new attempt at t-p-u…
(FWIW, mipsel and ppc64el lacked proper buildd foo to build stretch
packages; Kurt fixed that part, and reported back the REJECTs to me.)
Mraw,
KiBi.

Text mode.
There's no X in the former,
You are right, it is not X. Something else that makes the screen
flash. Flashing frequency is about 2 Hz, way to fast for failing
