Usertags: unblock
Dear Release Team,
please unblock package di-netboot-assistant which was just accepted
into unstable.
The package has finally been fixed to work with jessie and the nmu
closes #759424 and #776565.
The patch has been tested before, but an upload never happened, cf.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776565#34
Note that di-netboot-assistant is used in debian-lan and removal from
jessie would break part of the PXE installation functionality there.
I plan to take care of the package in the future.
Debdiff is attached, thanks and best regards,
Andi

+di-netboot-assistant (0.38a+nmu1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ * Non-maintainer upload.
+ * Fix package for jessie. The patch has been mostly provided by Jonas
+ Smedegaard and should fix all issues related to new syslinux:
+ - Lookup pxelinux.0 in /usr/lib/PXELINUX (not only
+ /usr/lib/syslinux).
+ - Lookup only BIOS binaries (not accidentally include EFI binaries).
+ - Install core modules in tftpd debian-installer dir.
+ - Keep vesamenu and menu modules in sync with PXELINUX.
+ - Enable jessie releases.
+ For details, see the discussion in the bugs closed. Thanks to Jonas
+ Smedegaard and Martin F Krafft. (Closes: #759424, closes: #776565)
