Tighten check for whether we're running in d-i (LP: #93887).

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Try to install fs-core-modules and fs-secondary-modules udebs.
  - Add os-probes/mounted/sparc/80solaris to recognize solaris/sparc.

Try to install fs-core-modules and fs-secondary-modules udebs.

Use udevinfo if available in parse_proc_mdstat to figure out whether a
device is a partition.

[ Joey Hess ]
* Patch from VMiklos to sed off (hdn,n) from the front of a kernel path,
  as seen in SuSE grub configs. Closes: #258623 although this is fixed
  imprefectly since it assumes stripping the string is enough.
* Patch from VMiklos to not require an initrd be specified in the grub
  probe.
* Patch from VMiklos to add --mounted option to linux-boot-prober.
  May not be useful for d-i but in other situations including for the
  Frugalware installer.

[ Frans Pop ]
* When parsing a lilo configuration, dereference symbolic links. Not doing
  this will break booting the old OS if the link was in / and there was a
  separate /boot partition. And grub in general prefers full paths.
  Closes: #259825.
* Use environment variable to pass --mounted option to lower level scripts
  instead of perpetuating the parameter.
* Add myself to uploaders.

Remove a useless debug message.

3. By Colin Watson on 2005-12-08

* To make it easier to use os-prober outside d-i, add a mapdevfs shim and
  avoid using anna-install if it isn't present.
* Fix count_for to avoid failing outside d-i if /var/lib/os-prober/labels
  is missing.
* Look for partitions in /sys/block if /dev/discs isn't present.
* Add /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL reference to debian/copyright.
* Rename os-prober to os-prober-udeb (leaving a Provides: behind) and
  create an os-prober deb.
* Avoid yaboot probe failing outside d-i due to archdetect being missing.
* Don't install /var/lib/os-prober/mount in either binary package, just
  /var/lib/os-prober; the former will be created/removed on the fly
  anyway.
