+debianutils (2.32) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
+
+ * [654eca6]: Remove mkboot entirely
+ mkboot has become increasingly distant from accepted practices on
+ modern Debian isntallations, and has limited utility. mkboot only
+ works on i386 and ia64. If GRUB is installed, it does nothing. It is
+ unsure how the grub2 detection works. mkboot only works on floppy
+ diskette drives, which are increasingly rare beasts. If rdev is not
+ present, mkboot will fail to determine the correct root partition. In
+ most cases, running mkboot is the wrong thing to do, and this
+ bugginess, in conjunction with its irrelevancy, require that this be
+ removed.
+ Bug fix: "mkboot cannot make boot floppy without lilo installed, but
+ package has no dependency on lilo.", thanks to Chris Metzler
+ (Closes: #197463).
+ Bug fix: "try different floppy formats when linux is larger than
+ 1.44Mo", thanks to Jari Aalto (Closes: #272254).
+ Bug fix: "mkboot should send stderr from which to /dev/null", thanks
+ to Mike Frysinger (Closes: #438443).
+ * [f98b30f]: Document that installkernel no longer calls mkboot
+ * Added Manoj Srivastava to the uploaders field. This package is now
+ co-maintained.
