1. If /srv/tftp is used as the default location, it cannot be made
mandatory, and users must have a simple way to change it.
(see the FHS definition of /srv).
2. What use to you see for tftp-get-root-location ?
3. Since tftp does not follow symlink and packages are not allowed to install
file into /srv/, how can packages provide contents to the tftp server in a
user-friendly way ?
4. To be useful, a virtual package like tftp-server need to have some
other packages depending on it. Which packages are you envisionning that
will depend on tftp-server ?
(I use tftp to install Debian using netboot d-i and I am quite interested in
a more streamlined tftpd in Debian, so I am interested in this proposal).
