[Debootloaders-yaboot] Bug#587290: How does linux-base modify /etc/yaboot.conf ?

[Benjamin Cama]

Hi,

I'm trying to solve #587290, i.e. yaboot.conf being generated with
strange values. You advised that yabootconfig be fixed, but actually I
discovered that it's not its fault : it correctly handles labels/uuids,
see my last answer at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580455

You mentioned that linux-base may modify /etc/yaboot.conf. I think it
might be the culprit for this bug, but I would first like to know how
and why it does that ?

I am investigating linux-base right away and will report any clue on
this problem.

Thanks,
benjamin
