Nathan, since you are working on a new installer and changing some things about what installation image is and how release is made, I would like to propose/discuss the following change. What about adding option DDB to the kernels booted from installation images? While adding DDB to installed kernels (GENERIC) would/could be a POLA violation and a potential security issue, having DDB in installation kernels would help a lot with debugging issues where users can't even get installation system to boot. Thank you for your work! -- Andriy Gapon
