Comment 10 for bug 591207

I've identified two problems with my previous upload attempt of casper, and am preparing an upload now which does a better job. It probably won't be possible to fix this in all upgrade scenarios, because it'll be possible for somebody to do a partial upgrade of the kernel without the new version of casper, but this upload will remove the necessity to generate a new USB stick before the new update-initramfs takes effect.

Martin, your problem is bug 562312, also mentioned by nh2. For the purposes of validating this SRU, I think that we should work around this by ensuring that the usb-creator slider is somewhere in the middle and the stick is a reasonably comfortable size; not to say that that bug shouldn't be fixed, but it shouldn't block this one in my opinion.

As far as I can tell, bug 667578 does not affect lucid, but only maverick and up. I'm not seeing it in my test environment, although I am seeing bug 591202 when upgrading the grub-pc package itself.
