Good to know that extlinux again works. Is it okay for you that bugreport #710212 also gets your feedback? If 'yes': just reply to this E-mail, it has Reply-To set to the BTS.

A request: Please get the habit to use the '-u' flag of `diff`. Example: `diff -u previous.file newer.file` This way we get the same output as `svn diff` and `git diff` give.

Bug#710212: fails to install
Attempting to narrow down the cause of this bug led me to an interesting
discovery.
There's a rather large difference between the /usr/sbin/extlinux-update
files in 3:6.00~pre4+dfsg-7 and 3:6.00~pre4+dfsg-8 that appears (in
part, at least) to be related to this issue.
This difference also exists in 3:6.00~pre4+dfsg-9.
Here's the diff output from 3:6.00~pre4+dfsg-7 to 3:6.00~pre4+dfsg-8 and
3:6.00~pre4+dfsg-9:
