[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-kernel-helper] systemd-boot: switch to suggesting new packages

[Fabian Grünbichler]

in Trixie, systemd-boot got split into:

systemd-boot: systemd integration and automatic installation of bootloader
systemd-boot-tools: bootctl
systemd-boot-efi(-XXX-signed): EFI binaries

when managed using p-b-t, we only want the latter two, since systemd-boot fails
its postinst (sometimes) if the ESP is not mounted.

Notes:
    we prepared a fixed systemd-boot package for our repositories, but since
    systemd is updated fairly frequently even in Debian stable we either need to
    keep doing that or avoid pulling in systemd-boot on p-b-t *using* systems..
    
    but of course, users might want to use systemd-boot without p-b-t, so a hard
    Conflict also seems like a bad option..
