Currently the ins loader (mostly HMC loading into an LPAR) only
supports kernels up to 8 MiB. The jessie kernel has 11 MiB, which
does not fit and hence gets its tail overwritten by the initrd
(root.bin) loaded at this address. This change bumps the load
address to 16 MiB, which should allow for some more growth of
the kernel.

Object code only modules date back to 2.2 and 2.4 kernel times, when
IBM did not release the source to certain kernel modules. Since many
years everything needed to boot and run the machine is actually
open source. It also got broken due to the kernel growing larger and
adding the oco.bin would overwrite parts of the kernel.
It's safe to say that nobody is actually using this.
Replace "alpha" with "a" and "beta" with "b". We've only got 32
characters to use here, so we need to shorten this. This way we can
specify DEBVERSION as a useful long string like "stretch-DI-alpha1" as
a version to appear in file/directory names, but without overflowing
at the VOLID level. May need more tweaks later here, but for now this
seems to do what we need.
FTAOD: this won't change "alpha" in the architecture name, as that is
added later.
Previously, the code would only check sizes for packages explicitly
listed but packages brought in due to dependency resolution would not
be checked. Now fixed.
Call cpp directly on our input task file instead of using it in a
pipeline. Not clear why this was ever done, and it obscures errors
like ENOENT (if the specified task file is missing).
When we've got multiple copies of the same initramfs hard-linked
together, gzip gets unhappy when we start modifying things
later. Explicitly break the links to fix that.
Provide hashes for uncompressed Translation-* files, and remove the
uncompressed versions from the output disc. Closes: #767253. Initial
patch from Michael Vogt - thanks!
d-i has removed these files now, so don't look for them for kernel
params. Closes: #767223, #766411. Thanks to Prema and Vagrant for
(identical!) patches. :-)
tasksel now allows selecting the desktop, and d-i has dropped the boot
menu desktop selection, so we no longer need to have desktop boot
menus on CDs.
CD images for specific desktops (xfce/kde/mate/etc) should still
override the default tasksel desktop.
Use "apt-cache show" instead of "dumpavail" in the Makefile.
Using "dumpavail" dumps all packages, while we're only interested in one
specific package. This wasts a log of cycles and time when many packages
need fixing.
Use "show $pkg" to directly dump only the requested package.
Use "--no-all-versions" to show only the candidate for installation.
Closes: #759343. Thanks to Philipp Hahn for the patch.
