Dear Maintainers,

Debian Live project includes code to detect Syslinux's MEMDISK and enable
network booting of live ISO images. This is however conditioned by the
existence of the binary file /usr/bin/memdiskfind, which is provided by
package syslinux-utils. This package is currently not included in any of
the Debian Live ISO images, which breaks network booting.

Suggested fix: Include package syslinux-utils in Debian Live builds, or at
least binary file /usr/bin/memdiskfind.

Current code from Debian Live project is reproduced below for reference:

[1/2] File /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/live from package
live-boot-initramfs-tools:

# Program: memdisk
if [ -x /usr/bin/memdiskfind ]
then
[ "${QUIET}" ] || echo -n " memdisk"
     copy_exec /usr/bin/memdiskfind
     manual_add_modules phram
     manual_add_modules mtdblock
fi

[2/2] File /lib/live/boot/9990-main.sh from package live-boot:

if [ -x /usr/bin/memdiskfind ]
then
    if MEMDISK=$(/usr/bin/memdiskfind)
    then
        # We found a memdisk, set up phram
        # Sometimes "modprobe phram" can not successfully create /dev/mtd0.
        # Have to try several times.
        max_try=20
        while [ ! -c /dev/mtd0 ] && [ "$max_try" -gt 0 ]; do
            modprobe phram "phram=memdisk,${MEMDISK}"
            sleep 0.2
            if [ -c /dev/mtd0 ]; then
                break
            else
                rmmod phram
            fi
            max_try=$((max_try - 1))
        done

        # Load mtdblock, the memdisk will be /dev/mtdblock0
        modprobe mtdblock
    fi
fi

Many thanks and kind regards,
Sebastien
