I thought that would get your attention.
My posts to cobbler-devel about asking folks to work on Debian to post
what they are doing, status, and so forth have not been answered lately,
so what
we have upstream (as a result of various patches from folks, much
appreciated -- I know everyone has limited resources themselves) are in
an inconsistent state.
I feel bad leading users down a path where they are experimenting with
code we know isn't going to do everything they want.
I won't mislead anyone, this is a large effort
* Porting all snippets
* Making repo/profile associations work
* Making import more streamlined, or otherwise unsupport it altogether
and provide better instructions
* koan --replace-self needs to work on Debian hosts
* koan --virt needs to work
* koan and cobbler need debian packaging updates for 2.0
If you have interest in seeing Debian working, you need to post up with
what you are working on and organize yourselves, or the feature will be
culled after 2.0, meanwhile I *will* be updating the Wiki docs to
indicate these features are in development and are experimental, not
something we suggest people use at this time.
I need to know who's working on what, and when they expect it can be
completed, so we can make sure it's all going to be taken care of.
SuSE support is in similar peril, with no import code, no snippets, etc.

Michael,
While I don't use Debian myself, I am updating the firmware on my HP
servers using the trick posted in the wiki which does use the Debian
features already in Cobbler.
Should it comes down to removing Debian support, is there any way to
keep support for booting HP Smart Start and HP Firmware Update cds?
Dominic
