So, another year later: ping regarding this request? The patch I've initially provided still applies cleanly on top of current sid version. If you don't mind, I could test this extensively on sid and NMU (I understand a NMU would be unusual for a wishlist bug, but this has been blocking other work I'm doing for almost two years now, that's why I'm proposing this course of action :) Cheers, -- intrigeri

Thanks a lot for the update :) FWIW I've resumed work on the wiperam package, and am now close to something that could be uploaded to Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#752790: kexec-tools: Please support /etc/default/kexec.d facility
Package: kexec-tools
Version: 1:2.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: tails-...@boum.org
Usertags: erase-memory
Hi,
tl;dr: please consider applying the attached patch.
We, folks from two Debian derivatives (Tails and Freepto), are working
together to package a Tails feature for Debian: erasing memory at
shutdown/reboot. The current implementation relies on kexec.
Doing so requires to make the kexec-tools stuff a bit more flexible
wrt. being reconfigured by other packages. To start with, we have to
dynamically patch /etc/default/kexec, and the best way we've found of
doing it is to add support for a /etc/default/kexec.d/ directory,
sourced (after /etc/default/kexec) by the two initscripts shipped by
kexec-tools.
If you don't mind adding complexity to the kexec-tools package in
order to support this usecase, more patches of the same kind
will follow.
Thanks for maintaining kexec-tools in Debian!
Cheers,
