Package: extlinux
Version: 3:6.02~pre8+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I gave a try to experimental package and realized that
extlinux-update resets custom /etc/default/extlinux to package's
default. And it does not use custom values when writing /boot/*.cfg
files. Example:
$ cat /etc/default/extlinux
## /etc/default/extlinux - configuration file for extlinux-update(8)
EXTLINUX_UPDATE="true"
EXTLINUX_ALTERNATIVES="default"
EXTLINUX_DEFAULT="l0"
EXTLINUX_ENTRIES="all"
EXTLINUX_MEMDISK="false"
EXTLINUX_MEMDISK_DIRECTORY="/boot"
EXTLINUX_MENU_LABEL="Debian GNU/Linux, kernel"
EXTLINUX_OS_PROBER="false"
EXTLINUX_PARAMETERS="ro quiet
resume=UUID=3d6b82bf-bd91-43e5-b2a4-3ddb4a8256a5 acpi_osi=
pcie_aspm=force"
EXTLINUX_ROOT="root=UUID=f3c806b7-5999-4907-a871-5633a3d41878"
EXTLINUX_THEME="none"
EXTLINUX_TIMEOUT="1"
