Rebase/plug into current live-boot

[zeha]

Most of our live-boot patches went upstream, and live-boot 1:20250225 got released.

If we don't need to support older releases, it should now be possible to turn live-boot-grml into an "overlay" package.

Discuss if we want this.

live-boot also gained support to allow UEFI HTTP boot; see https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2025/02/msg00100.html and https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-boot/-/commit/0307e7cae2394acb712f0899072c5a8416102ada

Fantastic, thx!

Older releases meaning bookworm or older?

Whatever makes our life easy! :) I'd like to have support for current stable AKA bookworm with our live-boot, but everything older isn't really relevant for grml-live IMO?

It was just released, so bookworm wouldn't work. Maybe we can copy the trixie package into a special suite.

Oh I see., yeah sure this would also be an option then.
Maybe that's something to discuss at our next Grml online meeting then? :)

Moved forward as we didn't have the discussion yet.

Debian forky/unstable has in the meantime switched the default initramfs provider to dracut. Maybe this issue becomes obsolete and we need to investigate dracut.
