Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.13;
Severity: wishlist

Installing the kernel and drivers from the boot floppies in the hackish way we
do is not the best thing to do (it ignores dpkg registration, so if you want to
remove it you have to do so by hand, and if you try to overwrite it you will
see no warnings).

Please leave this as an open wishlist until a good way to do so is found.
