infinitycjwatson: Can you think of any valid reason for platform/installer-gtk continuing to exist?18:01
infinitycjwatson: We don't build the gtk d-i flavour (have we ever?), and if we did, those udebs would get yanked in by my debian-installer-udebs hack now.18:01
infinity(cf: my hunting down why a udeb was supported that really shouldn't be, and finding a seed there that doesn't make much sense to me)18:02
infinityTempted to just rm the file (and the STRUCTURE entry) and see what poops out to universe.18:03
* infinity does that.18:04
infinityThanks for the chat.18:04
infinity:P18:04
cjwatsonheh.  I'm not fussed by it.18:10
cjwatsonwe did build it at one point.18:10
infinityThat must be in the distant past.18:12
infinityPerhaps pre-ubiquity.18:12
infinityOh, hrm.  Or 2013.18:14
* infinity shrugs.18:14
infinityNo on seems to miss it.18:14
xnoxwe should have killed the desktop-alt images with optional gtk builts in 2013, after the full disk encryption work done in ubiquity.18:43
infinity56 binaries and 6 sources demoted.  Yay.19:18
infinityxnox: Don't see how that relates.19:18
infinityxnox: The desktop alternate images exist due to ubiquity lacking a small footprint (text, perhaps) frontend.19:19
infinityThe only people who seem to care are lubuntu, but they care a lot. :P19:19
* xnox for the ubuntu desktop flavour, the gtk d-i, i was told existed because ubiquity could not do full disk encryption.19:20
xnoxindeed the non-gtk, curses only, is the low-memory/minimal thing.19:20
infinityOh.  Right, Ubuntu alternates are long dead.19:20
